Rosa Parks

(February 4, 1913 - October 24, 2005)
"Her name is a code word against totalitarian governments. There are really three names that have really resonated in the shanty towns of Third World countries around the world. They are Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Bob Marley. They are more loved by poor people than any other historical figures in recent memory."
- Douglas Brinkley, speaking about the Civil Rights hero who died in her sleep yesterday at age 92.
