Her simple act of greatness and humilty makes the current generation’s circus of so-called activists and advocates all the more shameful, greedy, and malignant.

Unfortunately, she probably will be forgotten. The way history is taught nowadays, and the lack of academic standards all the way through College make it highly unlikely that even her name will survive beyond our lifetimes.

Ask the average person what the “Red Ball Express” had to do with civil rights, or even who the first black baseball player was, and you’ll see what I mean.

Sad, but true.

Notwithstanding the efforts of M L King and other purported black leaders, Rosa Parks simple act of civil disobedience (refusing give up her bus seat for a white man) was the tipping point in the advancement of civil rights in America. She should inspire us all to appreciate how ordinary personal courage can lead to extraordinary public legacies.

God bless you Ms Parks!

People with this type of intestinal fortitude are few and far between. She is owed a debt of gratitude by all.

Wow. A tip o’the glass to Rosa. She was someone whose courage in the right place at the right time made a difference.
