Peace, Sister Rosa

Rosa Parks has died. This icon of the civil rights movement has gone to her eternal glory having lived a life of immeasureable meaning. And in death, she has been honored by the rich and famous, as well as those who are poor and humble. Fittingly, she even became the first woman to lie in state in the nation's capital rotunda.

To me, Rosa Parks symbolized the quiet, yet powerful statement that every individual is worthy of dignity and equal treatment under law. No more. No less. Rest in peace, Sister Rosa.
