It's amazing how a single moment of honest, courageous contempt can trigger the collapse of a massive authoritarian power structure.

Just one dog-tired "colored woman" who got on a bus after a hard day's work and decided she wasn't putting up with the bullshit this time around...

RIP, Ma'am.

Mrs. Parks gives the truest meaning to the words, "paying my respect".

Dec. 1 will mark the 50th anniversary of her historic bus ride.


"So many laws violated the constitution in the 1940s and '50s that the Constitution itself lived as a shell of what the Founding Fathers had written. It took a petite woman of 42 to remind America of what a roomful of men had signed."

When you think you can not make a difference think of Rosie Parks. Sometimes great change comes from a single light. Prayers to her family.

Damn that sucks. Such an amazing person who changed the nation is no longer with us...

At least she lived to a ripe old age.

God bless such a strong, courageous woman.

She honestly has given hope to millions, and largely contributed to put a vile evil to an end.

God bless.
