Paying my respects to Miss Rosa Parks. It is nice to think that everyone has the ability to do simple acts of defiance and be heralded. This is what being an American is all about. My fears are that the religious right has somehow twisted the ability to be defiant if it does not agree with their agenda -- that you are unpatriotic, unfaithful, and unworthy. I hope that when I am called to stand up for my rights and the rights of others that I have the ability to see the simple act of defiance that I must do to help others see the injustice.
Rest in peace Rosa.
