A Courageous Stand

Dec. 1, 1955. The U.S. was a lot different.

It was 50 years ago that Rosa Parks stayed seated on a public bus in order to make a courageous stand. Much like the effort in her memory the day of her funeral, news reports indicate bus systems across the country will leave a seat empty today in honor of the 50-year anniversary of her stand.

The Kansas City Star reports on kansascity.com about Kansas City's "Rosa Parks Bus" unveiled today. The bus includes images of Kansas City's first African-American bus drivers. I have a feeling Cowboy will seek out the route just so he can say he rode on this bus.
