Thank you, Rosa Parks!!
We'll see and hear a lot about Rosa Parks today, as she passed away yesterday.
For the really young readers, Rosa was the black woman who refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man. That's the short versions of the story. Truth of the matter is that she had some backbone that many people of that day did not have. She helped usher in a decade of change that ultimately produced a cultural change for our country. She did in that one act what the results of the civil war could not do . . .
Her life is a shining example of fortitude, conviction, and purpose. We should all thank God for her actions.
