Happy Birthday, Rosa Parks!

FEB 4th  - HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSA PARKS!

Born on Feb. 4, 1913, this year would have been Rosa Parks’ 100th birthday.  

On Dec. 1, 1955, Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. This led to a 13-month boycott of the Montgomery bus system that would help spark the civil rights movement. 
Recently President Barack Obama visited the bus that Rosa Parks sat in.

February is Black History Month. Have you seen some displays around campus?
