Rosa Parks (1913-2005)


Courage comes in all forms, bravery from the truest of hearts. Thanks for shedding light on what freedom really means. Teach your children well about this woman - her life is a lesson on so many levels - courage, morality, the ability of an individual to enact change.

Rosa Parks, who helped trigger the civil rights movement in the 1950s, died Monday.... She was 92....After she was arrested for not giving up her seat, it triggered a 381-day boycott of the bus system by blacks and led to court rulings desegregating public transportation nationwide.

I loved that woman. Can't think of a more simple, dignified revolt that was small and sweeping at once...

RIP..........U will always be in our heart........
