Access to Mauna Kea

I think Rosa is my auntie's hero

Rosa Parks was arrested, removed from the bus she was riding on, taken to the police station, jailed, posted bail, and was found guilty. Her attorney appealed, but before her case could be heard a similar case ruled buses could not be segregated.

After her arrest black residents in her town boycotted the bus system, and walked to work, grocery stores, everywhere. They didn’t prevent buses from operating. If Mauna Kea protestors wished to follow in Mrs. Park’s footsteps they would not block the road, they would refuse to drive up Mauna Kea, and would only travel there on foot.

Rosa Parks is a hero to many people, I can see why your auntie looks up to her. She and others led the way for public transport to be integrated, and was a symbol for many in the civil rights movement as they broke down other barriers which denied equality for black people in America. She was willing to be branded a criminal, and walked everywhere she went for a year. Using the tactics of real civil disobedience she won her battle. She accepted the disruption and turmoil in her life caused by her convictions with grace and without complaint.
