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.

Celebrate Thomas Edison's birthday with this Facebook quote cover

One of my personal heroes is Thomas Edison, the inventor from New Jersey with over 1000 patents in his name. He founded General Electric as well as a utility company, Metropolitan Edison, for whom I used to work.

The lightbulb was just the most famous of his inventions, but today our lives would be radically different if not for Thomas Edison. His work with electricity, batteries, lightbulbs, film projectors, the phonograph and even basic switches that would later become early computers, Edison's ability to constantly innovate and create was remarkable.

If each of us tried just a little harder to stretch our capabilities, imagine our world.

Thomas Edison was born February 11, 1847, and today would be his 170th birthday.
