Rosa Parks

In Memorium

I consider Rosa Parks to be one of my few role models. She's one of those people which history hinges on. Her actions and her subesequent role in the civil rights movement make her a titan in the cultural psyche of america. I admire her for her bravery, her willingness to take a stand against the powers of a corrupt government. I admire her for her sense of propriety, others have exploited their historical celebrity, but she had a sense of grace and prescence that she used to advocate in sensible ways. She was a woman of great beauty and importance. America owes her a great debt and I hope for all our sakes that her legacy leaves a lasting mark on our country.
