Rosa Parks, Mother of the Civil Rights movement, has died.


On a a day of destruction and death in larger numbers, it still is important to pay homage to the individuals as well. She was a light in the wilderness, a testament to the power of righteous stubborness and self-respect.


Show respect at the passing of an American hero.

And the most staggering thing? Her own comment:

"All I was doing was trying to get home from work."

Small moments, huge movements. Or as Peter Gabriel says, You can blow out a candle, but you can't blow out a fire.

Peace, Rosa.
