Remembering Rosa Parks
It was December 1st, 1955. A tired Rosa Parks took her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus, heading home after a long day’s work. She refused to obey bus driver James Blake’s order that she give up her seat to make room for a white passenger. Her act of defiance became an important symbol of [...]
