Postscript on the brave lady
Text reads: We as Americans and civil people are privileged to have had a person as fine as Mrs. Parks willing to spark change in our country. Her memories will live on and teach our youth that even today we still need to embrace our civil rights as people and Americans ~ Today we celebrate the life of one of America's important women.
Rosaparks.org is the website of the Rosa & Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development. Here's an excerpt from the Statement Regarding Mrs. Parks' Passing:
Mrs. Parks was a woman who exhibited dignity with pride, courage with perseverance, and an ever-present quiet strength. Her legacy will live on through the Rosa & Raymond Parks Institute for Self-Development, a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, which she co-founded in 1987. The mission of the Institute is to encourage youth ages 11 to 17 to reach their highest potential. The Institute's flagship program "Pathways to Freedom" gives youth from around the world the opportunity to retrace the steps of the Underground Railroad and the Civil Rights Movement and the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Rosa Parks, 1913-2005.
