Welcome to the toybox.
All I was doing was trying to get home from work.
Most historians date the beginning of the modern civil rights movement in the United States to December 1, 1955. That was the day when an unknown seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger.
This brave woman, Rosa Parks, was arrested and fined for violating a city ordinance, but her lonely act of defiance began a movement that ended legal segregation in America, and made her an inspiration to freedom-loving people everywhere.
Parks died Monday night in her Detroit home of natural causes. Her attorney said close friends were by her side.
February 4, 1913 - October 24, 2005
