There are seven billion inhabitants who roam this planet, each one with different opinions, cultures, and beliefs.

Although at the time, her actions were frowned upon, and are still disgraceful in the eyes of some white supremacists, they became an influential part of U.S. History. If Rosa Parks lacked the courage to stand up for what she believed was important, our country could still be a habitat of hatred and segregation.
