    "The front seats were occupied with one man, a white man, standing and at this point the driver asked us to stand up and let him have those seats and when none of us moved at his first words he said, 'You all make it light on yourselves and let me have those seats.'

    And when the policeman approached me one of them spoke and asked me if the driver had asked me to stand I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Why don't you stand up.' I said, 'I don't think I should have to stand up.' and I asked him. 'Why do you push us around?'

    He said, 'I do not know, but the law is the law and you're under arrest.' "

    Rosa Parks description of the events of December 1st, 1955 in Montgomery


    RIP

    We're doing the Montgomery Bus Boycott for History c/w right now. It was a really brave thing to do in a time of such social injustice.

    Some would say that we've come far, others would disagree.

    I'm just thankful that there are people like Rosa in the world, willing to stand up for what they believe.

    RIP to a true heroine.
