Unfortunately, Rosa Parks, a great hero of the 20th century has died. As we all probably know, Parks was the woman who refused to relinquish her seat to a white bus rider, setting in motion the Montgomery bus boycotts in '55. Thus she was very much a catalyst of the civil rights movement.
She was truly a national treasure.
Sadly,
John
P.S. I also posted this in R/P, but I put it here for the benefit of those who don't venture to those parts.
