Thank you, Sister Rosa

In honor of the 55th anniversary of my shero‘s momentous arrest:

I love the Neville Brothers and this tribute, but it does perpetuate the myth of Mrs. Parks as a “simple seamstress” with tired feet. Any cursory study of her life will uncover a very different story.

P.S. – Chicklet thinks this song is for her, since in our house, she’s Sister Rosa.
