Today, I am grateful for the courageous act of a woman that took place fifty six years ago. I'm grateful that she stood up (out of defiance or fatigue or whatever) and said no, I won't move from this seat. I am grateful that because of her act, a major civil rights campaign kicked off to give equal rights to everyone regardless of skin color. I am grateful that because of that my son has every right to expect equal treatment under the law. I am grateful that he can go to any school he wants, study whatever he wants and sit in whatever seat on the bus he wants.
God bless Rosa Parks.
