Rosa Parks, a civil rights legend, dies at the age of 92 in Detroit
Her simple act of defiance changed America
The Detroit News
(October 24, 2005) Courage in the face of oppression; resistance in the face of injustice. That is the enduring legacy of Rosa Parks, whose defiance on a racially segregated Montgomery, Ala., bus lit the flame of the modern civil rights movement and inspired freedom movements from South Africa to Poland.
Parks died Monday, Oct. 24, 2005, at home in Detroit. She was 92.
"She was peaceful," said Elaine Steele, Parks’ longtime assistant and companion. "She passed away in her sleep. I was there with her and her doctor."
On Dec. 1, 1955, Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery city bus.
Her quiet stand against racial segregation that day galvanized the modern civil rights movement and catapulted the softspoken woman into history.
"I had no idea when I refused to give up my seat on that Montgomery bus that my small action would help put an end to segregation laws in the south," wrote Parks in the 1992 book "Rosa Parks: My Story."
