Nearly 50 years ago, Rosa Parks made a simple, yet courageous decision that sparked a revolution. On December 1, 1955, she was riding on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama when a white man demanded that she give up her place on the bus. She declined, even though the rule said she had to do.
With this small act of defiance, evidence of personal courage, Rosa Parks gave a voice to a new beginning that started the civil rights movement, a voice that required justice and equality for all.

Many years ago, during a tribute to her accomplishments, Rosa Parks said, “Without vision, people will perish, and without courage and inspiration, dreams will die!” Rosa rejected to let her dream die.
