WASHINGTON (AP) — Johnny Cash now stands among the most
famous politicians, trailblazers and activists of American history
as he became the first professional musician to be honored with
a statue in the U.S. Capitol.
Congressional leaders from both parties and members of the Cash
family were among the several hundred guests who gathered
Tuesday for the unveiling of the statue.
They shared their memories of a man who grew up on an Arkansas cotton farm and turned a love of music into a decades-long career
that gave voice to the struggles and triumphs of everyday
Americans.
