    Rest in peace, Rosa. How much you moved by refusing to move. You are truly free now.

    My lady.

    The flags should be lowered on her behalf right across the US.

    (Can you imagine the mindset of the POS white man who stood there waiting for Rosa parks to give up her seat for him? What a shmuck.)

    I don't think I could even approach being that brave.

    A brave lady, who showed courage when it was most needed. May she rest in peace.

    Publicly, she says she did it because she wanted to make a stand. However, when my sister met her at a convention, Rosa let slip that she did it because she was tired and didnt want to move to the end of the bus.

    Either way, her actions sparked something great.

    R.I.P.

    By not wanting to stand she raised the standard.
    By not wanting to move she sparked a movement.
