Sad, sad day...

...for Detroit and the rest of America (the world maybe?) . At age 92, Civil Rights Pioneer Rosa Parks has died. Ms. Parks was someone who could make us all proud. Simply by saying No, I'm tired and I'm not getting up, she opened the doors for so many people. She paved the way and improved the quality of life for everyone, regardless of the color of your skin. She stood up for what she believed in by sitting down on that bus. She went to jail for what's right. How many of us would do that?

Ms. Parks was an excellent citizen of the city of Detroit. More people need her principles, integrity and compassion. She will be missed by everyone whose path ever crossed with hers, and countless others who were inspired by her passion to do what's right.

God Bless You. Rest in Peace.

I'm editing this to add a very touching tribute that was just emailed to me.
