"His dream would be to see the derelict home reconstructed on the lawn of the White House with the blessing of U.S. President Donald Trump.

“Trump says that he’s not a racist. This would be a wonderful moment for him to redeem himself in the eyes of Americans,” Mendoza said. “He wants to embrace all of America’s past. Why not embrace the house that Rosa Parks once lived in?” ---- You've GOT to be kidding me. No - if confederate memorials are EVIL and we need to put them in the past to concentrate on a BRIGHT future then that includes ALL memorials from the past.

We have a few historical places in our city: Patsy Cline Museum for example. It is the home she grew up in, a modest home in what is today a rough neighborhood. Going there, you not only learn of her upbringing, but the life of people from modest backgrounds in those days. We need to hold on to our history.

Just force every city to have an MLK Drive or school. Oh wait, that’s already been done...

B.S. It would make no difference in their attitude toward Trump. They would say he did it only because of the pressure they put on him.

“”No - if confederate memorials are EVIL and we need to put them in the past to concentrate on a BRIGHT future then that includes ALL memorials from the past.””

If history is going to be erased, it all needs to be erased. There was no civil rights movement, no Rosa Parks because none of this ever happened! Goodbye, all streets named after her and all streets/schools named after MLK, Jr.
The rant in this country is EQUALITY - that’s equality!

I guess he thinks that the WH and surrounding property belongs to the president to do with as he wishes.

Often the action of Rosa Parks in the bus is cast as having been an act of total spontaneity by a woman who could stand it no longer, that she happened to be very tired that day:

that is an absolute lie.

I don’t care if you believe in her cause ten thousand percent, her act on that day was as spontaneous as high mass at st. Anthony’s church.

it has been months in the planning, Rosa Parks was a very longtime left-wing political activist. her role was chosen by a committee it was assigned to her.

They also chose that particular bus because it belonged to a company which was from out of state and had very thin political Connections in the community.

the left always wants you to believe that these things are spontaneous and carried out by people who aren’t political at all.

that’s a complete and utter lie.

In closing let me add that Rosa Park’s own people on two occasions broke into her home and robbed her, one of the thieves apparently wasn’t completely oblivious and did recognize her while he was robbing her.

re-contextualize these monuments

Is THAT what they're doing!!! Glad someone cleared it up for me, cuz it looked to me like they were tearing them down or defacing them.

Find a good spot for it and yeah, the last thing we need is a bunch of sanctimonious Europeans having a monument to point to. We have preserved Underground Railroad homes and we should preserve this too, just not on the White House lawn please.

I view this as sort of like the churches that grabbed relics in order to encourage pilgrimages which were good for local economies. Tourism, these days. Go for it!

Her white and Native American ancestry is very apparent.

Rosa Parks is a manufactured hero. She was not the first to protest the bus law, the first one was sent packing because she was not as photogenic. Rosa Parks = Fake News.
