President Donald Trump ordered American flags to be lowered nationwide for one week following the death of Dolly Parton, a rare honor for a private citizen. Parton, who died at age 80, was a beloved figure across the political spectrum. This honor has been granted to other private citizens in the past, including civil rights leaders and cultural icons. The flag-lowering period is among the longest ever granted to a non-politician.
