Rosa Parks sat down so I could stand up, tall and proud. Hell, back in those days all we ever heard was, "Don't just sit there, march here and march there". And then Sister Parks came along and refused to budge! Damn! She sat herself down and refused to get up cause she paid the same damn fare as everyone who was gettin the seats! She sure nuf did get everybody's attention...they arrested her ass! On top of it..., took her ten or twenty times longer than the whities to earn that bus fare. She stayed in her seat and the world turned around. Rosa Parks showed us all that one little person can make a whole bunch of noise without so much as a whisper. She showed the world that the color of your skin shouldn't determine what part of the bus you sit in...as you ride through life.

Thank you Rosa Parks.
