Good bye Rosa Parks

The world has lost a voice that has left an indelible mark on the United States.  I am filled with melancholy with the news of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosa_Parks">Rosa Parks</a> death.  Park's refusal to get up from her seat in a Montgomery Alabama bus was not because her feet were tired after a long day's work, but rather because, as a civil rights activist, she was tired of the injustices that she had to endure everyday.  Her subsequent arrest resulted in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montgomery_Bus_Boycott">Montgomery Bus Boycott</a>, and her legal case ended in a Supreme Court ruling that bus desegregation is legal.  We will all miss you.
