Relative to the Commemoration of Rosa Parks' 100th birthday.
AI Summary
This Resolution, originating from the California State Assembly, officially honors the 100th birthday of Rosa Parks, a pivotal figure in the Civil Rights Movement. It acknowledges her courageous act of refusing to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955, which sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and ultimately led to the desegregation of buses by the U.S. Supreme Court. The resolution recognizes Parks as the "Mother of the Modern Day Civil Rights Movement" for her foundational role in ending legal segregation and inspiring the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It also highlights her continued activism through the NAACP and co-founding the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, as well as her numerous accolades, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. The Assembly urges all Californians to remember and commemorate this significant American woman.
