Rosa Parks, exemplar of quiet grace, dignity and courage got off
the bus for the last time yesterday.

Absolutely magnificent what a single determined person can achieve.
Ought to be required reading in every school in the world.

Yes. But don't forget that Mrs. Parks was not the first person to
challenge the seating rules. Others had filed suit and won in regards
to interstate travel. Her case, which was taken by the NAACP (where
she worked, BTW), was simply chosen as the right case at the right
time.
Don't get me wrong, she is still worthy of all the praise she
received (and will continue to receive), but the pageantry-version of
her story is sorta BS.

Maybe, but *I* would have probably given up my seat.
