Today think of all of the things you know how to do. Write down all of them. Depending on how old you are the list may be pretty long. Don’t take anything for granted. And you know what? You are still learning. You are not done yet.
Remember. You are able. Tell yourself everyday.
There have been many movements that liberated people. Our history falls in to those histories also.
Best known for her role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955. Parks refused to give up her seat and move to the back of the bus. She was arrested, lost her job and was the subject of death threats.
But as the movement grew stronger she became an icon of what activism looks like. After the boycott, Parks moved to Detroit. She went to work for US Rep. John Conyers in the House of Representatives from 1965 to 1988. She died in 2005.
An African American woman moved home to take care of her dying mother giving up the opportunity to experience a world beyond segregation. Zoraida Hughes Williams finds that some things have changed about her hometown of Fort Worth, Texas while some have stayed the same, like Hell’s Half Acre, an area where saloons, prostitution and gambling runs wild. Like most of the residents, she wants to keep her head down and stay away from trouble, but it comes in the unlikely form of an Anglo Baptist preacher. He messes up everything and almost gets them killed.
