For Rosa Parks

:1955 arrest photo of Rosa Parks...the symbol of how far she was ready to go for the sake of freedom.
Died Oct 24 of natural causes, aged 92.

For the woman who sparked and marked the begining of the civil rights movement on Dec.1st 1955 when she refused to give up her seat to a white man.
For the woman who found the courage to defy a law that was unjust.
For the woman who was not afraid to be punished for having faith in a better life and equality.
For the woman who paved the way to the freedoms black people have now.
For the woman with a heart of an angel with eyes of fierce determination.

For Rosa Parks. REST in PEACE, you changed the world.


I remember my eyes opening with admiration when i first heard her story. She had simply had it and it was unheard of what she did, the boldness and fearlessness and courage. I get emotional when I re-experience the movement her actions sparked. My people walking in the cold and rain for 381 days, refusing to continue gross injustice and terrible discrimination.
I'm inspired over n over. I only hope when my life is done I'll leave an imprint on history just like she has.

"I am leaving this legacy to all of you," she said in 1988, "to bring peace, justice, equality, love and a fulfilment of what our lives should be.
