Civil rights icon Rosa Parks dies at 92
Rosa Louise McCauley Parks, the civil rights icon, resident of Detroit, died on
October 24, 2005 at the age of 92, at about 7:00 p.m. EDT, in her apartment on the east
side. She had been diagnosed with progressive dementia in 2004.
Rosa Parks was an African American seamstress and a civil rights activist whom
the U.S. Congress dubbed the "mother of the modern-day Civil Rights Movement".
Parks is famous for her refusal on December 1, 1955 to obey a bus driver's demand
that she give up her seat to a white passenger. Her subsequent arrest and trial for this
act of civil disobedience ignited the 381-day Montgomery Bus Boycott by blacks, one
of the largest and most successful mass movements against racial segregation in
history, and launched Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the organizers of the boycott, to
the forefront of the civil rights movement. Her role in American history earned her an
iconic status in American culture, and her actions have left an enduring legacy for civil
rights movements worldwide.
On Wednesday, November 2 after the funeral service ended, an honor guard from
the Michigan National Guard laid the U.S. flag over the casket and carried it to a
horse-drawn hearse and later transferred it to a motor hearse. As the hearse passed the
thousands of people who had turned out to view the procession, many clapped and
released white balloons.
Rosa was interred between her husband and mother at Detroit's Woodlawn
Cemetery in the chapel's mausoleum which was renamed the Rosa L. Parks Freedom
Chapel just after her death. City officials in Montgomery and Detroit announced on
October 27 that the front seats of their city buses would be reserved with black ribbons
in honor of Parks until her funeral. Parks had previously prepared and placed a
headstone on the selected location with the inscription "Rosa L. Parks, wife, 1913–".

Being a mother or father – a constant learning process
We don't need to go to school to learn to be good mothers and fathers.
The other day I saw an article that caught my attention: the headline was 'School in
France teaches how to be a father and mother'. Because of my personal situation - I am a
first-time mother of a one-year-old baby - I rushed to read the article about the French
experience. The School for Parents and Educators (EPE in French), a non-governmental
organization offers activities and services that help train mothers and fathers throughout
France. The project seems to be very interesting and the numbers confirm its success: in
1998 the EPE recorded 51,000 visits made by parents. The comments made by mothers
and fathers are encouraging: they talk about how good it feels to share the same
experiences, and the same joys and heartaches with fellow parents.
How to be a good enough mother or father for our children is a topic that is high on
everyone's agenda, more so today than ever before. Theories on modern psychology and
education abound and have been widely disseminated. Parents devour information about
how to raise their children with the same voracity of a hungry baby nursing at his
mother's breast. But often they read so much and listen to so many diverse and diverging
opinions that they end up with a theoretical overdose. An excess of information often
distracts parents from their most precious gift: that of simply observing their own
children. This, more than any theory, provides parents with that "sixth sense" that enables
them automatically and naturally to "figure out" what the child needs.
We must remember that intuition should go hand in hand with common sense, which
comes from the loving and caring observation of the everyday lives of children and
youngsters. Any studies that have been done about their universe will confirm this.
Readings, conversations with friends, support groups and the help of experienced
professionals are always welcome, as long as the participants are caring and loving
parents.
We do not need to go to school to learn how to be mothers and fathers. We should,
however, do everything in our power to ensure that we are truly doing the best we can.
But without all that guilt or neurosis. After all, education goes both ways: we will teach
them about life and they will teach us. Parents can learn so much from their children,
including how to be decent parents - and vice versa.
