Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks has died, Local 4 has learned.
Parks, 92, reportedly died around 7 p.m. Monday at St. John Hospital on Detroit's east side.
Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Ala., in 1955 landed her in jail and sparked a bus boycott that is considered the start of the modern civil rights movement. The bus is on display at the Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn.
Parks, was born on Feb. 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Ala. She lived in Detroit.
wow
What is so funny?
May you Rest In Peace, Ms. Parks.
You are wrong.
Who approved the wire tapping and FBI survellance of the civil rights movement (i.e. Martin Luther King and the Southern Christian Leadership Conferance)?
Answer: New Englanders such as Democrats and J. Edgar Hoover.
"In October 1963, Attorney General Robert Kennedy approved an FBI request for permission to install wiretaps on phones in Dr. King's home and in the SCLC's New York and Atlanta offices to determine the extent, if any, of "communist influence in the racial situation."

And Algore was driving, wasn't he?
Prove it.
"...I wonder why she picked Detroit to retire?"
She had been employed for some time by rep John Conyers
Commies are exploiters. It's what they do. When there is nothing to exploit, they do poorly. Unfortunately, there was plenty to exploit in the 50's. Sad. Could have been avoided. The bus system needed boycotting.
A lot of people of the 1930s generation had a fling with Marxism. I would very much doubt that she had anything to do with the communist party in the last 40 years or so.
You see, seeking information on a premise is NOT the same as accepting the truth of that premise.
RFK's motivation might just as well been to refute the idea that "the commies are behind the nigras wanting their rights!"
You're an encyclopedia of Kwame quotes. Writing a book?
It's amazing how these people act like they're just mouthing off in the privacy of their own living room. They don't seem to realize that they're revealing their lunacy to millions of people - or they just don't care. I say let 'em come out so we'll know who they are. They're vastly outnumbered, anyway.
True. It's also true that many who were initially drawn to communism because of its egalitarian promises soon left it in disgust.
Richard Wright comes to mind. And he seemed to have been as die hard as they get.
I can't believe you're posting that old, old picture. Lame and irrelevant.
Yep. I threw out the names Chambers, Cleaver and Horowitz early in the thread. The "once-a-commie-always-a-commie" folks haven't cared to comment. Hope they don't find out what organization a certain Bishop of Rome once belonged to in his youth.

I agree with you. Let 'em continue. I find it very entertaining.
