Rosa Parks died today at the age of 92. She is the lady who refused to give up her seat in the front of the bus. Her actions started the American Civil Rights movement. The fact that she just now has passed away shows us how historically new this movement really is.
She did live a great life for all people regardless of color. I even saw on TV that at one time she met Pope John Paul ll and said she was honored to do so.
"Slavery ended in medieval Europe only because the church extended its sacraments to all slaves and then managed to impose a ban on the enslavement of Christians (and of Jews). Within the context of medieval Europe, that prohibition was effectively a rule of universal abolition. "— Rodney Stark
