For the last few years since the CV19 scamdemic undocumented immigration into Ireland has surged. No one is allowed discuss it because they do not want any rational debate about it.

Death of Rosa Parks

category international | rights, freedoms and repression | other press author Wednesday October 26, 2005 01:08author by Anthony Report this post to the editors

Rosa Parks died at the age of 93 on October 24, 2005. It was 50 years ago that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man aboard a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was arrested and convicted of violating the state’s segregation laws.

Her act of civil disobedience was the spark that lit the flames of the American civil rights movement - a long struggle for freedom which inspired others around the world to do the same - including our fellow countrymen north of the border.

Democracy Now covers her death by replaying a recording from the archives of an interview with the woman herself back in 1956 during the Montgomery Bus Boycott. (The audio is available for download on MP3 but the video is only available from a streaming Real Media server.)

Civil Rights Pioneer Rosa Parks Dies at 92
- By BREE FOWLER, Associated Press Writer
Monday, October 24, 2005


(10-24) 20:50 PDT DETROIT (AP) --

Rosa Parks, whose refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man sparked
the modern civil rights movement, died Monday evening. She was 92.

Mrs. Parks died at her home during the evening of natural causes, with
close friends by her side, said Gregory Reed, an attorney who
represented her for the past 15 years.

Mrs. Parks was 42 when she committed an act of defiance in 1955 that was
to change the course of American history and earn her the title "mother
of the civil rights movement."

[...]

Speaking in 1992, Mrs. Parks said history too often maintains "that my
feet were hurting and I didn't know why I refused to stand up when they
told me. But the real reason of my not standing up was I felt that I had
a right to be treated as any other passenger. We had endured that kind
of treatment for too long."

Rosa Parks confronted raw evil power: the racist power of the U.S.A. The Rossport Five have done a similar yoke: defying the combined power of government-and-industry. She was there in spirit on the Long March to Derry, and rest assured she and Michael Davitt are singing " We Shall Overcome" with the Rossport guys. So long, Rosa. Thanks much.

The USA is not rasist, it stands as a becon of freedom through out the world. Your just a pinko commie- a yellow-bellied liberal, peacenick, stuck-up, white, liberal, latte-drinking, brieir-eating, french-loving pinko communist, thats what you are.
