Kay Ivey (R) at Montgomery Plaza at the Court Street Fountain.The statue stands about 30 feet from the very spot where Parks is believed to have boarded the public bus on which she’d refused to surrender her seat on Dec. 1, 1955. Her act of civil disobedience sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott ― a watershed moment in the civil rights movement. “Today, on the second official Rosa Parks Day, we honor a seamstress and a servant, one whose courage ran counter to her physical stature,” Reed, who recently became Montgomery’s first African American mayor, said during the ceremony. “She was a consummate contributor to equality and did so with a quiet humility that is an example for all of us.” // Head to the link in bio to learn more. // 📷: City of Montgomery」12月3日 3時35分
