@forkstudio.bsky.socialThe last stop of our Detroit trip was the one I was saving. At the Henry Ford Museum you can step onto the bus where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, sit where she sat, and hear her tell the story herself. (There's also a Wienermobile.)
@2waystreet.bsky.social4th #sentenceoftheday #BeverlyGage #ThisLandIsYourLand #UShistory #booksky #RosaParks Final chapter: "In 1955, the same year Rosa Parks made her stand in Montgomery, Alabama, Walt Disney opened a theme park in Anaheim, California."
@fuckcancer56.bsky.socialThis caught my eye: The Rosa Park School St-Denis. I was curious and googled Rosa Park School. Turns out France has multiple Rosa Parks schools across country. Here, in the US, where Rosa Parks is a civil rights icon? We have one school named for her, in Paterson NJ. SMGDH. #RosaParks
@l-oise-au-rouge.bsky.socialL'histoire est belle.
Des fois, il faut s'arrêter aux symboles.
L'histoire de #RosaParks a été une construction médiatique mise en scène par MLK. La première femme noire à refuser de laisser son siège à un blanc s'appelait #ClaudetteColvin.
