RIP Rosa Parks.

It's wierd . . . we had a "living legend" in our community, Ella Ramsey . . . she was a civil rights leader in our area. She died Sunday. She was 100.

A quote from her pastor that was in today's paper:

“Ella Ramsey was one of Ashland's leading citizens,” he said. “She promoted the cause of human and civil rights by both words and example. A leader of her political party, a marcher with Martin Luther King Jr., in Frankfort in 1964, a founder and participant in Martin Luther King Day as celebrated in Ashland, a personal friend to me and a friend to all who knew her ... she will be missed.”

Amazing women.
