Rosa Parks Museum Bus

Today we continue our celebration of Black History Month.

Rosa Parks was a civil rights activist who became known as "The first lady of civil rights" after she was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus in 1955. This act instigated the legendary Montgomery Bus Boycott, which helped end racial segregation on public transit across the country.

February 4, 1913 was Rosa Parks birthday. Celebrate her legacy with this Facebook cover on what would be her 105th birthday.

The photo below is from the Rosa Parks Museum in Dearborn Michigan. This bus represents the one where she took a stand by taking a seat and keeping it.
