Rosa Parks is dead at age 92.
She has always been a testament to what one person can do.
I remember her being asked why she didn’t get up on the bus and her answer was simple and yet so powerful, “I was tired.”
I’ve always loved that statement because it says so much about the state of things. I never took it to mean it was only a physical tiredness, but much more a tiredness of the way things were.
Some of us are still tired.
May she rest in peace.
