The iconic Rosa Parks was born in February (Feb. 4, 1913), and I recently found myself reading her autobiography. The lives she touched and influence she was able to produce in people is profoundly amazing, and the fact that she lived until 2005 is still crazy to me. She walked with Dr. King during the march from Selma to Montgomery in protest of segregation, she spoke at length with Malcolm X after his conversion to Islam and she received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. She adamantly believed that non-violence was an effective measure to protesting but also believed that there must come a point where you stand up for yourself.
