and Rosa Parks have really been the catalysts these past few months. Rosa Parks appeared to even time her departure to perfection. The mood has changed and it was so evident at her memorial service yesterday.

Thanks for this lovely article. She was my first American Shero.
Today was a grat day. There is hope.
