On Beacon Street across from Boston Common, a most uncommon man continues to lie in state Wednesday morning before his funeral later Wednesday.

The late Boston Mayor Kevin White will be buried after a Mass at Saint Cecilia Church in the Back Bay. White's wake brought hundreds of people back to another era.

This program aired on February 1, 2012.
