Rosa Parks Sat on the Bus to Stand Up for All Americans


(Here is a great book about this famous but humble Civil Rights Leader by Rita Dove)


CNN reports, "It was so unbelievable that this woman -- this one woman -- had the courage to take a seat and refuse to get up and give it up to a white gentleman," said Rep. John Conyers, a Michigan Democrat, who watched the drama unfold as a teenager.

"By sitting down, she was standing up for all Americans."
