Rosa Parks died last night. the famous civil rights activist that would not give up her seat on the bus. its a sad moment. i hope at least that this event will make people think about these things again, because even though she made great progress for her cause it was not the end of the fight.
from that day on the bus the fight has kept on going. for example the little know minister that stood up and caried her fight into the public eye, Martin Luther King Jr.

It was definatley a sad moment but she got to live her life, alot of black people from that time were murdered and tortured for standing up for what they believed in.

"I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move"
- Rosa

She was a strong and brilliant woman, inspired a lot of people to take notice to the fact they had the strength inside themselves to make a difference.
She did a whole lot in her time, there is no question about that.
