Rosa Parks: Thank You
In 1956, Rosa Parks's arrest and the bus boycott that followed was big news!
For those who have not heard yet, Rosa Parks died yesterday at her home in Detroit! Mrs. Parks is credited as a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement! Detroit was fortunate enough to be blessed with Rosa Parks residing in its city for as long as she did!

Well I know that she did something great, but sometimes I would say dang, they are over doing it. But I guess you had to be there to fully understand. Not really feeling that sitting at the back of the bus thing, unless I wanted to.
