I heard that they are going to drive the hearse in reverse for the funeral procession. That way she won't be riding in the back.

Thank you Rosa Parks.

In honor of a true heroine whose one simple act changed unjust laws.

Unfortunately, it appears there's still a long way to go to achieve the same change in attitudes.

She deserves a memorial in DC and I hope she gets it.

From an interview done in the 50's:

"Weren't you afraid?"

I didn't feel afraid. I had decided that I would have to know, once and for all, what rights I had as a human being and a citizen, even in Montgomery, Alabama

Written, the words don't have the same impact as they do when you hear them spoken in her soft voice. She was a very courageous woman. RIP Miss Parks.
