Rosa Parks passes away

Today Rosa Parks passed away. Mrs. Parks, the famous woman who wouldn't give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955, spotlighted the world's attention on America's "Jim Crow" laws that enforced the seperation of the races. The Montgomery Bus Incident eventually led to the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
