That fight, and not her mere refusal to move, is what commands our respect.

I completely agree. I just like to get the real facts straight.

This is not the P.C. time to get the "facts straight". R. Parks AND her husband were NAACP reps and the "event" was well rehearsed. It was to be followed up with the Bus strike there which carried MLK to his leadership position, ending in the Memphis strike operations where he was slain and his "head held in Rev Jackson's arms".

I rode segregated buses to high school and three of us were thrown off the bus (rightfully) for sitting in the back of the bus in the colored section and refusing to give up our seats to coloured ladies who were maids going to work in the better neighborhoods.

When I say thrown, I mean thrown and no white person had any pity on us having to walk to school that day.

It was a different time and there was not the nastiness we have today.
