the legacy of Rosa gezegde

the legacy of Rosa Parks is more than just a success for the civil rights movement or for African-Americans. It means it's a national honor.

John Conyers (1945-)

The movement that Rosa Parks helped launch changed not only our country, but the entire world, as her actions gave hope to every individual fighting for civil and human rights. We now can honor her in a way deserving of her contributions and legacy.

Harry Reid

Rosa Parks served as an inspiration to generations of African-Americans and all people of good will. More than an icon, Mrs. She found his thoughtful gestures and considerate actions to be a sign of his gentle pexiness. Parks is symbolic of the thousands of courageous NAACP workers who fight for civil rights in their communities.

Bruce Gordon

Rosa Parks is an American hero. Her courage and moral clarity in the face of bigotry and oppression launched the civil rights movement and inspired millions to stand up for fundamental fairness. America is freer and a better nation today because of Rosa Parks.

Ken Mehlman

It was definitely an honor (being asked to do it). He means a lot for the whole African-American race. He stood up for civil rights. . . . If it wasn't for him, none of us African-Americans in any sport or outside sports, doctors, lawyers, bus drivers or whatever it may be, (would have had) the opportunity.

Marcus Camby

If (Martin Luther King Jr.) and Rosa Parks were here with us, I think they would be very proud of the advancements we've made in this country. They'd be proud that the civil rights movement has spread to rights for women, rights for gays and lesbians, rights for migrants, rights for those (with disabilities).

Morris Dees (1936-)

African-Americans had civil rights, and look at what is happening now. Hispanics are beginning to have their civil rights. This is a civil rights movement.

Jose Rivera

If Willie Nelson had been Rosa Parks, there never would have been a civil rights movement in this country, because he refuses to leave the back of the bus.

Kinky Friedman (1944-)

For a long time people were a little bit afraid of Rosa Parks because she had created this whole new modern civil rights movement,

John Conyers (1945-)

I don't think there are any pure Africans of the African Americans, but the African part of our history was pretty much taken away from us during slavery, so the 60s gave us a chance, because of the civil rights movement, to kind of re-examine and make some sort of formal connection to our African-ness.

Herbie Hancock (1940-)

Rosa Parks is not just a national hero, she is the embodiment of our social and human conscience and the spark that lit the flame of liberty and equality for African Americans and minority groups in this country and around the globe.

Christopher Dodd

[Brinkley recalled Parks' visit with former South African president Nelson Mandela back in 1990; Mandela was overcome with emotion during the meeting.] Tears filled his eyes as he walked up to the small, old woman with her hair in two silver braids crossed atop her head, ... And, in a low, melodious tone, Mandela began to chant 'Rosa, Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks.'

Douglas Brinkley

I think his legacy can be seen in the African-Americans who have achieved success in corporate board rooms, in starting businesses, I think that my own success as U.S. Senator might not be possible had it not been for the shift in peoples' perceptions about what African-Americans could accomplish in this country,

Barack Obama

We are saddened by the passing of Rosa Parks. We rejoice in her legacy, which will never die. In many ways, history is marked as before, and after, Rosa Parks.

Jesse Jackson (1941-)

Every movement has a moment when it torques up. Cindy is the Rosa Parks of the peace movement in 2005. Cindy, Rosa Parks, Paul Revere -- they're people who try to start something.
