If Rosa Parks had not refused to move to the back of the bus, you and I might never have heard of Dr. Martin Luther King.

In many ways, history is marked as 'before' and 'after' Rosa Parks. She sat down in order that we all might stand up, and the walls of segregation came down.

Rosa Parks inspired many. She will not be forgotten.

The civil rights movement would experience many important victories, but Rosa Parks will always be remembered as its catalyst.

Rosa Parks was a woman of strength, conviction, and morality. Her action on December 1, 1955, to defy the law made her a leading figure in our nation's civil rights history.

I think, along with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks will go down as one of the two most well-known and remembered figures out of the Civil Rights Movement.

Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther King could walk. Martin Luther King walked so Obama could run. Obama's running so we all can fly.

Rosa Parks will be remembered for her lasting contributions to society. Her legacy lives on in the continued struggle for civil rights around the world. She will be missed.

I just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked, she got famous for breaking the law.
