All news agencies the world over are covering the death of Rosa Lee Parks. Rosa Parks was the inspiration behind Martin Luther King's civil rights movement, using her experience on bus in Montgomery, Alabama as motivation to achieve parity amongst all races of people in the United States.
In fact she refused to move to the end of the bus for a white passenger. Reverand Jesse Jackson eulogises:
"History knocked on her door, and with quiet courage she answered with non-negotiable dignity," Jackson said. "Her light in darkness illuminated the path for the majestic leadership of Dr. King. Together, they changed the course of American and world history."
