I had never gave much thought to Rosa and what happened on that day so long ago.

Growing up here in rural Arkansas we did not have much racial trouble around here, and at the time I did not pay that much attention, of course when Rosa's was asked to give up here seat on that bus I was yet pretty young.

I think its sad that anyone in this world would ask anyone to give up their seat and move, no matter who they are or what color they be.

To me the man that asked her to move should have been the one arrested, and if justices had of taken place them, that is exactly what would have happened.

To many people in those days, as well as modern time think way to much of their selves. I fail to see why we all can not live in peace and treat each one as they should be treated

But I don't suppose that will happened in our society where we have to many people who think they are better than others, and or to many people who think they are owed a free ride.

America would be a much wonderful place to live, if only we would get over our prejudices and demanding so much from our country and do as JFK said, "Ask not what our country can do for us, but what we can do for our country."
And yes, I think Rosa did the right thing by not giving up her bus seat.

May God Bless,
