Rosa Parks
Audio / Produced by The High CallingTranscript
In the 1950s South, front bus seats were usually marked "whites only." Rosa Parks was not in the whites only section when she was told to give up her seat to a white man. Three other black passengers moved. Mrs. Parks kept her seat.
Mrs. Parks only meant to resist one rude driver. Her simple resolve that day, however, inspired a city bus boycott . . . which sparked nonviolent protests . . . which eventually brought the courts, the president, and Congress to the cause of equal rights.
This is Howard Butt, Jr., of Laity Lodge. In 1955, a woman riding home from work quietly moved her nation down the road to justice. Some leadership requires nothing more than example . . . in the high calling of our daily work.
