Johnny Cash becomes first musician with statue at U.S. Capitol

A statue of Johnny Cash was unveiled Tuesday at the U.S. Capitol in
Washington, D.C., as the late singer became the first musician to be
honored with a bronze likeness in National Statuary Hall.

Lawmakers and family members spoke of Cash's legacy, as the United
States Air Force band performed his hit "I Walk the Line," at
Tuesday's hour-long ceremony inside Emancipation Hall.

Roseanne Cash, daughter of Johnny Cash, said her father and Arkansas
native had "achieved the ultimate American dream" with his statue
being placed alongside historical figures including civil rights
leader Daisy Bates, who fought for desegregation in Arkansas.
