ROSA PARKS

D.C.

I know to half the population in the US, Rose Parks is an icon, but she was just a seamstress who decided not to sit in the back of the bus. How many other people who preformed sit ins or other forms of civil disobediance well get to lay in state in D.C.?

They didn't let Martin Luther King JR to lay in state in D.C.. Now I could see that.
Or Medger Evers, Malcom X, many others who were out there doing it, she just sat in front of the bus.

Why not honor the soldiers who are fighting against terrorism by letting them lay in state in D.C.? She jus sat in front of the bus. Jackie Robinson was court martialed for not sitting in the back of the bus and he never got to lay in state in D.C. and he broke the color barrier in the Major Baseball League.
