Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks led an inspiring life. Unfortunately, we rarely hear about it. That may sound surprising at a time when Rosa Parks is probably mentioned in every American history textbook. The problem is that her story is usually presented as a simplistic morality tale that goes like this:

On Dec. 1, 1955, Parks is an ordinary 42-year-old seamstress in downtown Montgomery, Alabama. She leaves work and gets on the Cleveland Avenue bus tog o home. When the whites-only section fills up, the bus driver yells at Parks to give up her seat to a white man. She refuses and is arrested, Simply by sitting on a bus, Parks sets off the year-long Montgomery bus boycott that galvanizes national attention, brings Martin Luther King Jr. to the start of his journey as a civil rights leader and creates a model of non-violent protest against racial segregation.

There´s no denying the appeal of his story. But this telling of the tale does a disservice to Parks and twist the history of the civil rights movement. Her story is about more than one bus ride. And the civil rights movement is more than one moment of defiance.

The one-dimensional telling of one day in the life of Rosa Parks takes her away from the real story. The truth is that Parks was not someone who one day, out of the blue, decided to defy the local custom of blacks sitting in the back of the bus. Thats a distortion that takes away the powerful truth that Rosa Parks worked hard to develop her own political consciousness and then worked hard to build a policitically aware black community in the South.

She was a civil rights activist who had long fought to get voting rights for black people in Alabama. As far back as 1943 she had refused to follow the rules requiring black people to enter city buses through the back door. And in the late 40s she was forming a coalition with a groupof black and white women in Montgomery to fight segregated seating on city buses.

All of this preceded the moment when Rosa Parks refused to give up her own seat on the bus. She made a deliberate decision to take up the fight. There was nothing spontaneous about this.

Rosa Parks was uncomfortable with the sainthood thrust upon her and used to say there was more to her life than "being arrested on a bus." Her Full, not-so-simple story is a guide to activism, an inspiration to everyone trying to create social change.

HALELUJA ENDLICH FERTIG xD
