Christian evangelical leader Billy Graham will be laid to rest at a funeral in North Carolina today, after his death last month at the age of 99. On Wednesday, Graham’s body was lain in honor in the Capitol Rotunda in Washington, where politicians including President Trump and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell paid their respects. Graham is the first religious leader to receive the honor in the U.S. Capitol, and the first private citizen since civil rights leader Rosa Parks was honored in 2005. The decision to honor Billy Graham drew fire from many civil rights activists, who say the religious leader was an apologist for racist and sexist views among evangelicals. University of Pennsylvania professor Anthea Butler wrote, “Graham would have told Parks that she needed to obey the law, stay at home, and be content with being a black woman with no rights.”
