Remembering Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was no politician, but in an amazingly simple act of defiance, she gave extraordinary strength to the civil rights movement.

It is no exaggeration for me to say that I think of Rosa Parks every day, at least, every day that I ride the bus.

A lot of myths surrounded the life of Rosa Parks.

While millions view Parks as the mother of the Civil Rights Movement, it is a designation she repeatedly disclaimed, citing that she was only doing what she thought was her right.
