anonymous on 06 Sep 13Well, I am not sure that this is wrong, as much as it is important. Rosa Parks was not the first African American woman to be given a statue dedication. However, I think that she is "deserving" of such an honor. I would like to ask what took so long? I know that if Parks would still be with us, she would be 100 years old, but being a century old does not precede what she has demonstrated and given to this country. People say that the best way to change the issues of race is to stop making it an issue, but I have to disagree. The problem is that people do not want to talk about it, and avoid the discussion by any means necessary. Hopefully, this article will continue to enable the discussion of race here in the United States of America.
