A Memorial To Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks passed away on Monday October 24, 2005 at the age of 92.
While we have done memorial posts in the past, we have yet to do one for someone outside the entertainment industry. Mrs. Parks was a true American hero. She stepped forward in a situation where she was only trying to assert herself and ended up sparking a movement that made large changes in American culture.
Mrs. Parks deserves all the praise that is being heaped upon her at this sad time for her family. She should be revered for how she lived her life and how she has inspired millions of others to improve the world. If we had more people willing to put them selves out in a humble way, think about how much better this country and world could and would be.
