How fitting Rosa was beaten and robbed in Detroit in her later years by an african-american-crackhead. Wonder why that wasn’t covered for days by the MSM?
They are what the liberal media and thier cohorts want you to believe, men of purpose, charactor, vision and morals. We know otherwise and some day we will know the truth, but some how I see the files being lost or destroyed by accident. If we do find the truth and it is damaging can we switch back George Washingtons birthday a true man of purpose, charactor, vision and morals.
I heard on local talk radio the other day that she was ill. Prayers for her family and friends...
Living close to Montgomery, I’ve had the chance to see and hear her many times on local media. She was a woman of courage and seemed like a very sweet lady.
