Where Rosa sat
I was enjoying a Heritage Program performance at my kids' school tonight when one of the classes re-enacted Rosa Parks' historic act of defiance. It reminded me of a trip I took to The Henry Ford Museum in Detroit. One of the exhibits is the exact bus Rosa Parks rode on her historic trip in 1955. The bus has been restored to its original condition, so I couldn't resist taking a picture in the seat where Rosa sat.

Wow, Lyn - I'm choked up and my eyes are wet looking at these two photos - especially the one of you sitting inside the bus.
Thank you very much for sharing these!
Best regards,

Thanks, Steve. It was kind of surreal to actually sit in that spot. You hear the story a million times, and you never think you'd actually be there. I'm glad you enjoyed.
