Rosa Parks: Thank you for the last 50 years..

It is with heavy hearts that we as a nation bid farewell to one of the most pivotal individuals of the last 50 years; Rosa Parks died yesterday at the age of 92.

Known globally for her infamous refusal to move to the back of a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama (1955), Rosa can be credited triggering what we now know of as the Civil Rights Movement.

We all owe her in immense debt of gratitude, as she has influenced nearly every aspect of the way we live our lives today. May she rest in peace.
