Rosa Parks Would Have Been 100 yrs old

When Rosa Parks, a black lady who did not go to the back of the bus and give her seat to a White man, she said,  "I had been working all day long and my feet were tired" What such a humane response! She is indeed the Mother of The Civil Rights Movement which affected the whole world and not just America.

The Rosa Parks Forever Stamp went on sale on what would have been the civil rights activist's 100th birthday.

DEARBORN, Mich. — The U.S. Postal Service has issued a Rosa Parks stamp on what would have been the late civil rights icon's 100th birthday.

The Rosa Parks Forever Stamp went on sale Monday, and an oversized version was unveiled during the National Day of Courage celebration at The Henry Ford museum in Dearborn.

The stamp bears an artist's rendering of a 1950s-era photo of Parks.

Deputy Postmaster General Ronald Stroman described Parks as being "the epitome of courage."

Parks was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus to a white man, an act that helped bring the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. to prominence.

Stroman and others later took a seat on the Rosa Parks bus, which is on permanent display inside the museum.
