Sixty-seven years ago today, Rosa Parks took a stand by keeping her seat. May her memory be a blessing.
#RosaParksDay
Rosa Parks, a Jersey girl at heart, refused to give up her seat on a bus — defying injustice, catalyzing the Civil Rights Movement, and changing America.
Let's honor her by continuing the march toward justice, dignity, and equality for all. #RosaParksDay
Happy #RosaParksDay ! Sen. Levin got to spend some time with her when she lived in Detroit, and he spoke at her funeral in 2005. Here they are together on June 16, 1999. #DayOfCourage #NationalDayOfCourage
“People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn’t true. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”

“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”
Rosa Parks, a Black seamstress who in 1955 refused to give up her bus seat to a white man, & was therefore arrested, was born on this day in 1913.
