Rosa Parks Passed Away Today

Rosa Parks died today (24th October), at age 92. By her actions, she helped accelerate the modern civil rights movement in America, and her protests directly made the world a better place in which to live. We are all the richer because of her courage. Here is a BBC article on the news, and here is an interesting Wikipedia entry for her. Thank you so very very much, Rosa Parks. You will live forever in our hearts and minds - and in our actions every time we fight against the odds for what is right. -cvj
