OnInnovation : Rosa Parks - Activist, The Rosa Parks Bus - 0 views
-
Drew Yost on 07 Sep 13The "OnInnovation" website is a really wonderful extension of the Henry Ford Museum. The Henry Ford Museum is located in Dearborn, MI, very close to Detroit, where Parks resided. It is known for having restored and exhibited the actual bus in which Parks refused to give up her seat. This website provides video commentary on the life and impact of Parks provided by museum curators. The photo is displayed here under the heading "Rosa Parks: Civil Rights Hero." On this site, we see that Parks expresses her desire to possess the same qualities as Septima Clark, a woman who was also in attendance at a seminar Parks attended on civil rights. This is the first time I have seen a website include this quote by Parks recognizing Septima's influence.
