Ms Parks is more important, and more courageous than Jackie Robinson, who gets so much more ink (& I adore Jackie & his legacy). Who among us could do what she did? Not I. When my Caucasian children, citing their pop music and rap culture icons, use the N-word in our home, they don't understand my vehemence, and cry censorship. It's a constant struggle against Ignorance. Ironically, it was my pop music and cultural icon, Dylan, who 1st stirred these notions in me 40 years ago. Long live Rosa's spirit and the memory of her deeds. Thank you for posting this John.
