RIP Rosa Parks
"[They say] that my feet were hurting and I didn't know why I refused to stand up when they told me. But the real reason of my not standing up was I felt that I had a right to be treated as any other passenger. We had endured that kind of treatment for too long."Rosa Parks was not a little old lady when she refused to give up her seat in December 1955. She was a 42-year-old woman who knew what she was doing. The Civil Rights movement was not about feeling sorry for black people; it was about fighting injustice and standing up for what's right. Let us remember a woman who stood up for what's right by sitting down right where she was. we should celebrate more moments where people stand (or sit) for the greater good. And note that Rosa Parks was a Detroiter the last half of her life. - UT DetroiterPost a Comment |
