Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks has died, Local 4 has learned.
Parks, 92, reportedly died around 7 p.m. Monday, a city source said.
Parks’ refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Ala., in 1955 landed her in jail and sparked a bus boycott that is considered the start of the modern civil rights movement.
Parks, was born on Feb. 4, 1913. She now lives in Detroit.

If you have children who do not know who Miss Rosa is, please tell them about her.
If you are not white and in the US, please think of Miss Rosa when you ride a subway or bus, and remember the day that Miss Rosa was tired, and did not want to stand up.
