She could have played the victim card, but where would that have got her?She could have just walked to the back of the bus, but where would that have got her?
She could have just waited for someone else to stand up, or - in her case - sit down, and fight for what was right, but where would that have got her?
Rosa Parks wasn't about to settle for the back of the bus on December 1, 1955, and Congress has the opportunity to ensure that she doesn't settle for the back of the bus now, either.
The Senate approved a resolution last night to allow Parks the honor of lying in the Capital Rotunda. The House will pass the measure later today.
Parks will be the first woman to ever lie in the Rotunda and one of the few who did not hold elective office.
Senate Concurrent Resolution 61 (not yet published) passed the Senate by unanimous consent.
See what happens when you don't hide behind a victim card and fight for what you know is right?
