It's a damn shame... on her last ride she's gonna have to be in the back.

She was a leader of the civil rights movement and she deserves respect, however I hope no one is of the illusion that her bus ride in the front was a brave spur-of-the-moment decision.

Rosa Parks, a life well lived and a legacy far greater than the vast majority of us will ever leave.

Her own words:

"People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day--No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in...I'd like people to say I'm a person who always wanted to be free and wanted it not only for myself; freedom is for all human beings...I hope it will remind people how we struggled and what we had to go through, and that they'll be willing to continue to work for our freedom because we still have quite a long way to go."

It still took a lot of courage to be the one to do it.

courage? how much jail time was she facin? sorry for not jumping on the "hero" bandwagon but i like to question history. she planned this ahead of time just as those people who sat in diners did. i dont think she should be singled out as a hero of the civil rights movement any more than the nameless people who stood shoulder to shoulder with Dr. King durring marches.



PS
sorry to be a buzzkill. i just dont buy into this whole "individual" thing when it concerns something that is changing the country.
