Rosa Parks (1913–2005)

Rosa Parks
"Back then, we didn’t have any civil rights, it was just a matter of survival. I remember going to sleep as a girl, hearing the Ku Klux Klan ride at night… afraid the house would burn down."
"It pains me that there is still a lot of Klan activity and racism. I think when you say you're happy, you have everything that you need and everything that you want, and nothing more to wish for. I haven't reached that stage yet."
UPDATE:
Lest we forget, the Ku Klux Klan is still active to this very day.
