February 4 Marks Birthday Of Rosa Parks, the well-known civil rights leader Rosa Parks turns ninety on February 4 2010, which is the black history month. Her excellent philosophy of freedom and equality for all people is as pertinent today as the day she refused to give up her seat on an Alabama bus.

Ninety years ago this week, in an America fraught with racial discrimination and state-enforced segregation, Rosa Louise McCauley was born in rural Alabama. Rosa Parks is woman who had no more than a high school education yet managed to become an American icon of unwavering resistance to oppression.

In “Quiet Strength: The Faith, the Hope, and the Heart of a Woman Who Changed a Nation,” an autobiography, Parks strongly emphasizes: “I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.”

Happy Birthday Rosa Parks!
