50 Years Ago Today In Montgomery, Alabama
A moment of silence, please, in commemoration of the birth of the modern civil rights movement.

Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus one half century ago...

Such a long way we have come... and such a long way still to go. The REAL march toward freedom began with Rosa Parks, December 1, 1955.

2. I heard that there will be an empty seat behind the driver on
NYC buses today to honor her. That is incredible!
