The woman who stood up to unjust laws and helped shame a nation into changing its policies of segregation has died at the age of 92 in Detroit. She became a symbol of the struggle against policies that were accepted by many, who failed to apply reason to their actions, and who thereby failed to see the harm those policies inflicted. |

I am a native of the Detroit area where Rosa parks Lived. I remember when, a few years ago, someone broke into her house. What a shame. Amazing how one person can change the country and history as we knew it overnight. God bless her soul and may she rest in peace. US civil rights icon Parks dies February 4, 1913 - October 25, 2005 "By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible". Hebrews 11.3 |

A fitting tribute to a latter day pioneer. When one persons rights are abridged, we all suffer. Account frozen... |
