The day that changed everything...
Above: Rosa Parks on the day of her arrest, February 22, 1956. She was arrested for not relinquishing her seat on the bus (which was behind ten seats toward the front) to a white passenger. For whatever reason, I can't remember ever seeing this photograph before today. It really doesn't need much comment from me. I simply see determination and quiet strength. I'll let the photograph itself supply the other 997 words.
Thanks to Bill McGinnis who saw my previous entry regarding Rosa Parks and alerted me to this picture.
