[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one that bothers me is that Rosa Parks sat down because she was old and tired. Actually she was young, and part of an organized campaign of civil disobedience. [/quote] That's not entirely true. She was definitely very active in the civil rights movement, but the bus incident wasn't planned. Also it's not that she sat down, but rather that she wouldn't get up when the bus driver told her to. Also she wasn't sitting in the white section of the bus. But yes, the narrative of Rosa Parks who did this one thing one time because her feet were tired bothers me a lot.[/quote]
