        Inspired by the brave teenager Claudette Colvin, who did the same months earlier but who wasn't a political activist, like Rosa. Still brave of Rosa to take the heat though, it made her a target. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claudette_Colvin …

        The GOP is so proud and arrogant about their greed and nihilism that they don't realize that a time will come when the American people will feel like Rosa Parks '18 and '20 will be a test 4 USa if democracy still works or we ALL become Rosa Parks They won't see it coming either

        This is why I hate that canard I and other school children of my generation were taught. It always began with “Rosa was tired and wanted to sit down.” The only thing she was tired of was racism and segregation.

        Thank you for sharing this. As usual, your reminders of history are comforting. This country has seen worse and we will overcome these dark days. There is always a breaking point. I plan to stay and fight for what I believe, for our children, for posterity
