The story also goes that a 15 year old unmarried pregnant girl did the same thing (refused to give up her seat) a few days/week earlier, but given her "situation" she was not appropriate to be the face of the bus boycott. Mrs. Parks was a much better face. Regardless, what she did too remarkable courage and she should be remembered as a hero.

Agreed. I think we did learn about the 15 year old too. It sounds familiar.

The news here just talked about all the viewings there will be. She is definitely getting a great goodbye. She just seems like such a modest woman, and if you can't respect her for what she has done for history, you have to respect her modesty.
