Rosa Parks, 1913 - 2005
Dear, brave, true person:
Who will carry your torch now? Who will stand up for her or his individual rights the way you did when you said, "No, I will NOT sit in the back of the bus?"
I make a promise tonight, Ms. Parks - I will NOT sit in the back of the bus either!
I will be vocal, and not just accept the scraps of those who call my spouse my "friend," or my "companion"...
I will NOT accept being called an abomination, or a mistake, or unlawful.
I will be me, and proud to be so.
Ms. Julien
