I was watching PBS with my daughter Teagan tonight. There was this special about following a few well known African American people, tracing their history, and all. So, we had a discussion about African people, slavery, emancipation, etc, (Oh yeah she's six by the way...) For some reason we came to Rosa Parks and I was telling her the story of how she wouldn't give up her seat on the bus for a white man, and about the bus boycotts. She said that the mean people who wanted her to get up should be the ones to have to ride in the back. That all the mean people should have to ride in the back, and that she didn't like mean people because they were too bossy. Okay, I gotta give a shout out to the kid!
