"I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear."
Quiet Strength (2000)

~Rosa Parks born #OTD in 1913

She is best remembered for her refusal on December 1, 1955 to obey bus driver James Blake's demand that she relinquish her seat so a white man could sit in the row.

Photo of Rosa Parks.

This image shows Parks:
In what appears to be the 1950s
Wearing glasses and a striped blouse
Smiling warmly at the camera
With a dignified, composed bearing
In an outdoor setting
A man visible in the background
