Pay Respect To Our Hero Rosa Parks

Created by BlackEntrepreneurProfiles.com

The symbol of the civil rights movement has died. Rosa Parks is the woman who refused to give up her bus seat to a white man on a city bus in Montgomery, Ala., almost 50 years ago igniting the first sparks of the civil rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's, died October 24th at her home in Detroit. She was 92 years old.
Parks was arrested and fined $14 for her act of defiance. As a result blacks in Montgomery boycotted the buses for over a year while mounting a successful Supreme Court challenge to the Jim Crow law that gave blacks a second-class status on the public bus system.
"Mrs. Parks's arrest was the precipitating factor rather than the cause of the protest," Dr. King wrote in his 1958 book, "Stride Toward Freedom. "The cause lay deep in the record of similar injustices."
This is one of the most important people in modern black history who like King, Mandela and Malcolm X should be held in the highest esteem by every black person a live today. They are symbols of our on going struggle and must be honored as hero's and saints. So get on your knees Oprah, Diddy, Jay Z, Russell, Bob Johnson, David Drummond, Will Smith and thank Rosa Parks for her courage, because we all owe who you are today to her and others who fought our your rights.
