Rosa Parks died Monday.
As I was growing up my parents told me her story and helped me to understand that she was the type of person that I should want to be, someone who stood up for what she beleived against great odds. It didn't matter that she was terrified, because she knew that she was right.
My father spoke of her with great respect. She was such an example of what one person can do. That was something that he really tried to instill in us, his children, that we could make a difference.
Rosa, the world will not miss you because your life made such an impact that many generations from now people will still know who you are, and learn from your example.
Rest in Peace dear sister.
Pax
