From Assemblymember Luz Rivas Desk – 20th Anniversary of Rosa Parks Day in California

I am so proud to co-author and support ACR 156 today, to memorialize the achievements of Rosa Parks in the Civil Rights Movement and commemorate the 20th Anniversary of Rosa Parks Day in California.

Ms. Park’s refusal to give up her seat ignited the civil rights movement. This singular act of disobedience launched a movement that lasts to this day. She is the example of an ordinary person doing extraordinary things!
