It's 'passed', not 'past'. Passed away. Passed.

Like a football, no?

May she go to that deluxe Alabama bus seat in the Sky.

Rest in Peace, Mrs. Parks.

This is an homage to the brave lady who refused to go to the back of the bus!

Rosa Parks died today, at the age of 92.

Rest in peace.

I remember learning about her in history and being so amazed that certain parts of the US were still segregated only 50-odd years ago.


Good on her for standing up for herself (and to all the people that stuck up for her and boycotted the buses), rest in peace Ms Parks

Damn. I hate it when I dupe a thread. All the same, R.I.P. Rosa Parks
