It appears that the woman was a willing pawn of some lawyers and organizations which wanted to achieve through the courts what they couldn't achieve through the ballot box (Sound familiar? Well, it started a lovely trend didn't it?) There was an article in yesterday's paper detailing the whole story, which is no big secret, but I couldn't find it on the newspaper's website. (I'll keep looking.) Apparently, this lawyer affiliated with NAACP was shopping for clients to bring up a court case. There were a couple of teenage girls before Rosa Parks who got arrested for the same offense. One of them was a likely candidate, but she was rather a rough rider, unsympathetic character, so the lawyer engaged Rosa Parks who was humble and nice.

All of this is no secret, but will likely provoke insults and accusations of being a Stormfront invader from those who prefer squeaky clean symbols and their history as concocted by the New York Times. Here's a relevant fragment of an editorial from the same newspaper:

She was a dignified surrogate tapped by local black leaders who wanted a squeaky-clean stand-in to test a hated segregationist rule. With her arrest, Parks filled this need, but also she launched changes that continue to swirl today.

Post some facts then, instead of rumor-mongering and gossiping.
