I’m gonna catch some heat for this but….

Rosa Parks The “Mother” of the Civil Rights Movement past away at the age of 92. My question to ya’ll is was she really the “Mother Of the Civil Rights Movement” or Simply a pawn used by Martin Luther King. now dont get me wrong it took alot of Courage for Mrs Parks to do what she did but for to be considered the Mother of something is to me a dis-service to the other participants in the movement for civil rights. Many many african americans participated in sit-ins and demostrations prior to Rosa parks and was jailed for there actions but Martin used her particular demostration to spark the Montgomery Bus Boycott…

Now my question is how much attention would have been giving to Rosa Parks if she was not infact a secretary for the NAACP. Now lets have real talk … Rosa Parks was simply a foot soilder a very important foot soilder but it seems that all we as “african-americans” talk about Martin L. King and Rosa Parks.. What about the many other memebers of The Montgomery Improvement Association. Why aren’t they taught or spoke about in schools and on the news how many of those other Generals, Captins & Lieutenants past away and are not even mentioned? so I will mention them now:

Jo Ann Robinson President of the Women’s Polical Council (WPC) of Montgomery. Who met with Martin Luther King to Plan the bus boycott

Reverand Ralph Abernathy Was Dr. Kings Right hand man during the Montgomery Bus Boycott Organized the Boycott

These are just two people that i’m sure Many of you have’nt even heard about. Not to Mention The Hon. Marcus Garvey the father of Black Nationalism Who with out him there would have been no Martin or Malcom.

And to all these “So-called Civil Rights Leaders of today” The Rev. AL and Jessie Jackson. If you trully want to honor Rosa Parks Legacy and her contribution instead of calling for a “national day of Mourning”, I would like one of our “leaders” to talk about the many people who organized the boycott. the who kept it a float by garnering support such as money, shoes, etc. those who were instrumental in bringing national attention to movement. Instead of looking for camara time to endorse the next political agenda …I’m out peace – Didda

Rosa Parks, one of the pioneers of the civil rights movement for minorities, who’s famous for her refusal to vacate her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus at the time they were running discriminatory laws against blacks in the southern states, has pas…

Rosa Parks died today. She was 92. Parks was the civil rights leader who refused to move to the back of the bus and was arrested for disorderly conduct. It set off a firestorm that began the modern civil rights era that would see the end of Jim Crow….

Parks, 92, reportedly died around 7 p.m. Monday at St. John Hospital on Detroit’s east side.
Parks’ refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Ala., in 1955 landed her in jail and sparked a bus boycott that is conside…

While today is a day to celebrate her life and her contributions to the Civil Rights movement, I fear that certain “de facto” leaders of the black community will use Rosa Parks’ memory in vain, and launch unfounded race-baiting attacks that have reg…

Call her “the woman who refused to get up,” but I’m sure Rosa Parks had no idea what her tired feet and frustrating treatment would lead to on December 1, 1955.
What became known as the Civil Rights movement was bound to start soone…
