“Knowing what must be done does away with fear.”
Periodic reminder that Rosa Parks was part of a community that trained for resistance and civil disobedience. Parks was an organizer and activist. She did not simply “decide to sit down one day.”
These moments are not about us as individuals. These moments are about forming and supporting community that includes us. Together, we are less afraid.
Happy Birthday, Rosa Parks
