Who was this?
Rosa Parks
When Parks, a seamstress, refused to give up her seat for a white man on a public bus in Montgomery, Alabama, 69 years ago on Dec. 1, 1955, she became a part of history. Parks, who is sometimes called the “mother of the civil rights movement,” was not the first person to be arrested for refusing to obey the city’s ordinance requiring black people to sit at the back of the bus and to give up their seats to white citizens. However, her arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, organized by Martin Luther King Jr., and became a pivotal moment in the battle against racial oppression.
She passed away on October 5, 2005. RIP. 🕊️

Residential Schools
FYI: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (TRC) concluded that residential schools were “a systematic, government- sponsored attempt to destroy Aboriginal cultures and languages and to assimilate Aboriginal peoples so that they no longer existed as distinct peoples.” The TRC characterized this intent as “cultural genocide.” Although 150,000+ kids attended, many never returned, destroying a whole generation of Indigenous people and families. The last residential school closed in 1996 (28 years ago).
