"Rosa
Parks’s singular act of disobedience launched a movement. The tired
feet of those who walked the dusty roads of Montgomery helped a nation
see that to which it had once been blind. It is because of these men and
women that I stand here today. It is because of them that our children
grow up in a land more free and more fair; a land truer to its founding
creed." —President Obama at the unveiling of the Rosa Parks statue: http://at.wh.gov/i7giq
