Homage a very great 'simple' woman

Homage to Rosa Louise McCauley Parks

The mother of the American Civil Rights Movement died today.

A quote from Today in History:
Rosa Parks: "Why do you push us around?"
Officer: "I don't know but the law is the law and you're under arrest."

From Rosa Parks with Gregory J. Reed, Quiet Strength(Grand Rapids, MI: Zondervan Pub. House, 1994), page 23.

“On the evening of December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, an African American, was arrested for disobeying an Alabama law requiring black passengers to relinquish seats to white passengers when the bus was full. Blacks were also required to sit at the back of the bus. Her arrest sparked a 381-day boycott of the Montgomery bus system and led to a 1956 Supreme Court decision banning segregation on public transportation”. For more see check this: Today in History
