    Rest in Peace, Rosa Parks

    Civil Rights pioneer Rosa Parks has passed away at the age of 92.

    http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/10/24/parks.obit/index.html

    By all accounts, she was a woman of strong convictions and gentle nature, and a person of real class.

    Rest in Peace, Rosa Parks.

    I just posted about this on another site, Karen.

    Rest in peace, Rosa. You made an enormous difference in the lives of so many.

    You will be missed.

    Oh! I'd missed this news. I admired her greatly...
    I'm sometimes asked "Why do you spend so much of your time and money talking about kindness to animals when there is so much cruelty to men?" I answer: "I am working at the roots." -George T. Angell, reformer (1823-1909)

    Rosa Parks was a very brave & courageous lady. If anyone ever thinks
    that one person can't make a difference, they should read her life story.
    She was a very real inspiration for all of us. Rest In Peace dear lady.

    RIP Rosa.

    ------------------



    When I was a camp counselor the bus driver would pile all the sleeping bags and stuff in the last row and the seat across the back.

    I'd lie on top of the stack and wait for the HUGE bump on Little Tunjunga road....You could get serious air-about 3 feet - and land back on top of the pile.

    Plus,
    If you happened to hook up with one of the gals.......

    The back of the bus wasn't such a bad place.
    The secret of life is nothing at all

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -
    Together we stand
    Divided we fall.

    I laugh, therefore? I am.

    No humans were hurt during the posting of this message.

    Rosa Parks was one of the best examples of a person practicing peaceful civil disobedience. From that small gesture of not moving, she started something quite grand.

    RIP, Rosa.
