Mrs. Parks was just your average American. She had no dreams of leading a revolution. She had no aspirations that her name would appear in history books. She was just an American who was tired and said "no more."
All Americans, black and white, old and young, owe Mrs. Parks a debt of gratitude for being defiant that day back in 1955. Her imprisonment set free the generations that followed her. She will always be proof that "hero" exists in all of us.

Well done, Dingo.
She was a real hero, because she was one one of 'us'- unlike the professional and well credentialed 'activists.'
She had a lot of dignity and class.
"She had a lot of dignity and class."
something sorely lacking in todays climate.
