Dear George,
Thanks for sharing your experiences. One cannot overestimate the
significance of Rosa Park's life in the civil rights movement. All
Americans are thankful for her stand (or refusal to stand, more
accurately) and its impact on America.
You said:
«MLK, Rosa Parks and others used to meet in the Church basement and
planned the bus boycott and other civil disobedience.»
It was also most fortuitous that Mrs. Parks' involvement in the CRM
happened at that particular time in the nation's history. Meeting in a
church basement to plan political action of any sort would meet with the
ultimate scorn and contempt today by the very same liberals who are
cheerleaders in the civil liberties movement.
Peter
