Rosa bella tu eres....

Today, Rosa Parks died at the age of 92. It was just a little over a month shy of the 50th anniversary of her refusal to give up her seat. Amazing that a small black woman could spark the whole Civil Rights movement. And without that, could we have had Women's Lib? Or gay rights? Imagine how poorer this country would be without any of those movements.
Rest in peace.

YES! Without any movements the country would be terribly terribly constipated.
