Mrs. Rosa Parks

Mrs. Rosa Parks passed today at the age of 92. She was, as the headlines read, "A civil rights pioneer". Personally, I see her as one of the last of the old school participants in the civil rights struggle. She kind of set off the movement in Montgomery, Alabama. Her refusal to get up and move from her seat, lead to the bus boycott in that City, initiated by Dr. King. You know the rest of the story. Although the Civil Rights struggle is over, new battles on all fronts of life in this country exist. Who will be the next Rosa Parks?
