The woman who spawned the modern civil rights movement by her courageous action 50 years ago on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama has died at the age of 92. From the linked article:
"I’d like people to say I’m a person who always wanted to be free and wanted it not only for myself; freedom is for all human beings," she said during an interview from the pastor’s study of St. Matthew African Methodist Episcopal Church, a small congregation she joined upon moving to Detroit in 1957.
What an extraordinary legacy she leaves.
