Guest thesysop Posted October 25, 2005 Rosa Lee Parks (search), whose refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man sparked the modern civil rights movement , died Monday. She was 92. Mrs. Parks died at her home of natural causes, said Karen Morgan, a spokeswoman for U.S. Rep. John Conyers. Mrs. Parks was 42 when she committed an act of defiance in 1955 that was to change the course of American history and earn her the title "mother of the civiuses, restaurants and public accommodations throughout the South, while legally sanctioned racial discrimination kept blacks out of many jobs and neighborhoods in the North. The Montgomery, Ala., seamstress, an active member of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was riding on a city bus Dec. 1, 1955, when a white man demanded her seat. Mrs. Parks refused, despite rules requiring blacks to yield their seats to whites. Two black Montgomery women had been arrested earlier that year on the same charge, but Mrs. Parks was jailed. She also was fined $14. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gunjaman5000 30 Posted October 25, 2005 It's a sad day when someone truly worthy of looking up to goes. Ironic though that one can't look up at someone when they're sitting down. My son chose the smilie, no sense of occasion those four year olds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
