Rosa Parks Dead at 92

Rosa Parks Dead at 92 on Yahoo! News Photos

One of my heroes. A great American hero. It took a lot of courage for this African-American woman "to buck the System." She was taking a great risk, but she went ahead and did the right thing, anyway.

Such a criminal thing to do - to refuse to give up her seat on the bus.

While racism still exists, we certainly have come a long way since that day in 1956.

Perhaps the greatest achievement America has made in the past half-century has been in the area of equal rights. Happily, we no longer live in a world where the only people who really count are white males.

Thank you, Rosa Parks, for your contribution.
