1955,
Rosa Parks refused to change seats on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus. On December 5, blacks began a boycott of the bus system, which continued until shortly after December 13, 1956, when the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed bus segregation in the city.
If I"m ever blessed with a wife and children, I would love to name my daughter Rosa. I'd want her to be like Ms Rosa Parks; an ordinary woman who did something while simple, was extraordinarily brave during her time.
