This is a fitting tribute to a heroic American who committed herself to freeing our country from the bonds of injustice. “As we celebrate and remember Rosa Parks today, we must also renew and recommit to living and acting out the high ideals embodied in her life. We must give our hearts, minds, and bodies to creating a more perfect union of economic and social equality, a world committed to peace and an American family standing together. Because of Rosa Parks, we know we can do better.” |
