*During a visit to the Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan this week, President Barack Obama took a moment to board one of its big attractions – the Montgomery, Ala. city bus where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat.
Obama later reflected on the moment at a fundraiser in suburban Detroit.
“I just sat in there for a moment and pondered the courage and tenacity that is part of our very recent history but is also part of that long line of folks who sometimes are nameless, often times didn’t make the history books, but who constantly insisted on their dignity, their share of the American dream,” he said, according to a White House pool report.
now some will say this is a political stunt im sure of it and that is fine u r entitled to your opinion but I say look how far we come. we came from someone who wasnt allowed to sit down when a white person needed a seat to the President of the United States. we still have a long way to go but this picture says volumes to me that someday maybe not in my lifetime that everything hateful will be overcome. True respect for everyone can happen someday. after all in 1955 do u think they would see this picture 57 yrs later? dream big.
