ROSA PARKS (MOTHER OF CIVIL RIGHTS)

Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks is remembered as a courageous woman whose defiance in the face of segregation helped inspire the architects of the civil rights movement and set an example for generations to follow.

She saw the inherent evil in segregation and she had the courage to fight it in its common place, a seat on a bus.

Rosa Parks, a former seamstress, became the first woman to lie in honor in the Capital Rotunda, sharing the tribute bestowed upon Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy and other national leaders.

This informative program chronicles the life of Rosa Parks.

When I was young [about this same era] my parents taught us MANNERS and courtesy. We traveled on public transportation and would always give our seat to elderly and ladies it was the gentle mans thing to do and show respect and breeding.

This lady had GUTS to defy a clearly racist and hateful attitude. What man would have a women surrender her seat for himself, how unmanly and selfish, no matter what the laws were then if it was actually a law. They arrested a women for something so foolish!!

There have been gangs for decades, the KKK was and is a gang, but that was okay, right?? Your afraid and thats the problem. growing up in a poorer neighbourhood has taught me a lot. Detroit is in poverty not because of blacks but because car manufacturers didn't want to give their workers a good living wage and moved it to another country where they pay their workers nothing and it means more money for the 1%. Being poor means a higher crime rate by ALL people. stop hating and start educating!!!

Now there is more segregation than ever. Whites have had to leave entire cities behind, like Detroit, which is now infested with Negro drug gangs. Whites have lost all civil rights, they can't ride on ANY public transportation seats because of the fear of violent Negroes. But whites are still expected to pay the taxes to subsidize public transportation for Negroes, as well as taxes for Negro section 8 housing and food stamps.
