Another Day in History

Apparently I am on a history kick. But today is the 55th anniversary of Rosa Parks taking a stand by keeping her seat and holding on to her dignity.

This was not just a "I'm fed up" thing by Ms. Parks. It was a planned act of nonviolent resistance, and she was a member of the NAACP in Montgomery. That has nothing to do with the bravery of the act; to me, the fact that it was intentional and planned makes it all the more courageous. We can do a lot of things on the spur of the moment out of anger that may or may not end up being a good idea.

So be thankful today for one woman's small act could mean so much. They usually do.
