“The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed, I suppose. They placed me under arrest. And I wasn’t afraid. I don’t know why I wasn’t, but I didn’t feel afraid. I had decided that I would have to know once and for all what rights I had as a human being and a citizen, even in Montgomery, Alabama.”
Rosa Parks passed away yesterday at the age of 92.
Thank you for keeping your seat, Mrs. Parks. Thank you for standing up for injustice. Thank you.
