Rosa Louise Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was an African American seamstress and figure in the American Civil Rights Movement, most famous for her refusal in 1955 to give up a bus seat to a white man when ordered to do so by the bus driver.

Yesterday was a sad day. Here's to you, Mrs. Parks. Thanks for everything you did for us.

indeed. the bus boycot was rad. They ruined the transportation industry. The bus companies finaly realized they had to change.
