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

That kind of courage and dignity is rarely found. RIP, Rosa.

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.

Yes, I am aware of that. Doubtless there were many such incidents. They were
all equally magnificent. Only one got the massive publicity.

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

Agreed. I guess that's why she's worthy of the praise.

Not when you consider the physical courage and mental toughness it took
in refusing the order to give up her seat in 1955. She put herself in
great jeopardy of personal harm. Like Tim, put in the same position, I
would likely have given up my seat.

As I sat in the dentist chair this morning, we (they mostly since there were
many tools in my mouth) talked about the passing of Mrs. Parks. When I
finally got a word in, I said "in all reality, it wasn't that long ago..."

I would be born about 11 years after the incident, however I find it hard to
believe this wasn't that long ago if you look at the big picture...
