California First Declared A ‘Rosa Parks Day,’ And A Few Other States Have Followed
One of the pivotal figures in the Civil Rights Movement was a quiet and demure seamstress from Montgomery, Alabama. California decided Rosa Parks deserved a day in her honor and declared one in 2000. Missouri, Oregon and Ohio have also days in memory of Mrs. Parks.
Her dignified political stand on a public bus set in motion the Montgomery boycott which began Dec. 5, 1955 and ended about a year later when the U.S. Supreme ruled segregation on public transit was unconstitutional.
As TheVillageCelebration’s Vickie Newton shows us, almost seven decades later Mrs. Parks is still loved and admired in America.
