By David Runk ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT In the city where she died and the city where she sparked the civil rights movement, the front of the bus is reserved for Rosa Parks. Detroit and Montgomery, are reserving the first seats of their buses as a tribute to Parks' legacy until her funeral next week. Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick-placed a black ribbon Thursday morning on the first passenger seat of one of about 200 buses where seats will be reserved.

"We cannot do enough to pay tribute to someone who has so positively impacted the lives of millions across the world," Kilpatrick said in a statement. In some-of the buses in Montgomery, the first seat was being covered with black fabric and a photograph of Parks was being displayed, according to the Montgomery Area Transit System. "This gesture, in conjunction with the city of Detroit, is appropriate in the two communities that Mrs. Parks called home," said Montgomery County Judge Lynn Bright, first lady of Montgomery. Officials elsewhere were offering similar tributes.

Black civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks would become the first woman to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda under resolutions considered Thursday by lawmakers. Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, in 1955 led to a 381-day boycott of the city's bus sys. tern and helped spark the modern civil eights movement. She died Monday in Detroit at age 92.

The Senate approved a resolution Thursday allowing her remains to lie in honor in the Ro-tirnda on Sunday and Monday "so that the citizens of the United States may pay their last respects to this great American." The House was expected to consider the resolution today In most cases, only presidents, members of Congress and military commanders have been permitted to lie in the Rotunda. Parks would be the second black American to receive the accolade. Jacob J. Chestnut, one of two Capitol police officers fatally shot in 1998, was the first, said Senate historian Richard Baker. Parks also would be the second non-governmental official to be commemorated that way.
