Ride the bus today...and stand in respect!

Rosa Parks has passed. Wouldn't it be great today if everyone that could rode a bus today and refused to sit leaving the seat available for Mrs. Parks spirit?

Nearly 50 years ago, Rosa Parks made a simple decision that sparked a revolution. When a white man demanded she give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus, the then 42-year-old seamstress said no.

Mrs. Parks died Monday evening at her home of natural causes, with close friends by her side...

"I am leaving this legacy to all of you ... to bring peace, justice, equality, love and a fulfillment of what our lives should be. Without vision, the people will perish, and without courage and inspiration, dreams will die - the dream of freedom and peace."
