Invocation: Sarah Ullrich
Tomorrow is December 1st, and on this day in 1955, Rosa Parks inspired a bus boycott in Montgomery, Alabama when she was arrested after refusing to give up her seat in the "colored" section of a bus to make room for a white passenger. Led by Martin Luther King, Jr., the boycott lasted for over a year and resulted in the desegregation of the buses. This is often thought of as the event that started the Civil Rights Movement nationwide.
In honor of Rosa Parks, I have selected one of the quotes that she shared when talking about the movement.
“Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today’s mighty oak is yesterday’s nut that held its ground."
In honor of Ms. Parks, I ask you to reflect on what nuts you wish to plant for future generations. What will your legacy be?
