Rosa Parks Tribute and Google Earth Placemark

A tribute to the lady that helped spark the civil rights movement.

Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man forty years ago on December 1, 1955, she was tired and weary from a long day of work. Her arrest and trial received national attention. It also sparked a 381-day Montgomery bus boycott. Finally, the Supreme Court ruled in November 1956 that segregation on transportation is unconstitutional. Rosa Parks is now seen as a hero, standing up for racial injustices. If it were not for Rosa we wouldn't be where we are today. Though indeed we still have a long way to go. We are still better off than we were 50 years ago.

Hey Rosa, just wanted to say, THANKS.

Here is the placemark for Google Earth to see the Rosa Parks Museum which is located in Montgomery, Alabama:
