A pioneer of the Civil Rights movement, Rosa Parks, died Monday, Oct. 24 at the age of 92.

Parks helped spark the movement in 1955 when she refused to give up her seat in the front of a bus after a long day of work. She was tired, not only after a day of hard work, but also of the treatment (racism, segregation) she and other black people were receiving at that time, and made a stand.

Her actions led to a bus boycott, and eventually the Supreme Court ruling that segregation on transportation was unconstitutional.

She never credited herself with starting any of it, however. She always reminded people that there were many others involved in the movement.

Her casket was placed in the Charles H. Wright Museum of African American History for round-the-clock viewing. The line of people waiting to pay their respects to her stretched for more than a quarter mile.

Her funeral was held Wednesday, where former President Clinton, U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton and Aretha Franklin attended. She was buried next to her husband and mother in Detroit’s Woodlawn Cemetery.
