Black History Month Lesson plans from Rosa Parks bus seat
I sat in Rosa Parks' bus seat. Yep. It was that same seat which, on December 1, 1955, she refused to vacate when a white man wanted it. This random act of defiance sparked the Montgomery bus boycott and propelled Woolworth Lunch Counter protests, freedom riders, and other Civil Rights demonstrations. All because of Rosa Parks. It still gives me goosebumps. She became an instant celebrity. How the Rosa Parks bus came to live at the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan is as touching as that of its most famous passenger.
