As we honor #RosaParks lets dispel the myth that she was just “tired” and hers was a spur of the moment decision
Mrs Parks was the smart and brave face of a calculated protest designed to bring max attention to a racist practice and it worked. Civil rights movement was strategic
As a child I was taught that Rosa Parks was a maid who’d been on her feet all day and was too tired to give her seat to a white person.
Not until I attended my #HBCU did I learn that Parks was a longtime leader in the Montgomery NAACP who planned the protest with other members.
This downplaying of the strategy behind the movement ignores the brilliance of its actors and does a disservice to subsequent protests whose leaders don’t understand that a successful movement requires planning.
Exactly, some people don't know that months/years of strategic planning, training, and execution went into the Civil Rights movement. There was background efforts/protests as well a foreground efforts/protests. They were organized, righteous, effective, courageous, and heroes.pic.twitter.com/gtRjBl1D05
“The only tired I was was tired of giving in.” — Rosa Parks
Thank you. I get tired of the old simplified story. It takes away our agency and helps keep us looking for "the next Rosa Parks or MLK" instead of becoming the next leader. If people focused on the planning and organizing, we might get ideas and keep working together.pic.twitter.com/xkwyfIEhBv
