I am in 7th grade and in My 6th period ELA class, we are supposed to research a person from history who had great/interesting accomplishments that went unrecognized due to discrimination. I decided to write about Rosa Parks. She is an amazing woman. She will be missed.

The God of all comfort promises to wipe out every tear from your eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.' And the One seated on the throne said: ‘Look! I am making all things new.' Also, he says: ‘Write, because these words are faithful and true.'”

Mrs. Parks although I did not know you personally, you open the door to the modern civil rights movement. The decision you made not to give up your seat open the right that every citizen had the right to sit anywhere in public place in the United States of America. Thank you Mother Rosa for your endurance to the United States, and God Bless your Soul.

I once sat on the very seat that you refused to give up on the bus. It was located in the civil rights museum where that young baptist minister who took up your cause was shot down. Thank You God for Rosa and Martin ~ time has stood still ever since for me. ~ Dave Battaino, Sudbury, Ontario Canada

What a "WOMAN" Strong, courageous and powerful in every since of the word. May the family of Mrs.Rosa Parks be comforted in knwing that her achievements impacted the world. The Love she showed for her fellow man and her since of right and wrong is unmatched. No doubt the God she served is very proud. May we all love as she did! 1 John 4:8 God is Love!

Rosa Parks is my famous Ameican for school. She was my 1st choice and am glad I got her. Her memorable act that started the Mongomery Bus Boycott gave me the message to always keep your head held high and stand up for what I believe in. Whether its religious, or something else like civil rights. Go Rosa Parks! Thank you for all that you have done! p.s. I'm in 5th grade :)

I will always love and treasure you for standing up for all people.
It took real courage, and the love of God and all of humanity, to put your life and the life and well-being of your family in great jeopardy.
You fought the good fight, you kept the faith.
Rest in peace, my love.

To the memory and legacy of Rosa Parks who graced this weary planet with her willingness to stand up and her determination and her will so other human beings would have a better tomorrow. To her family who is honored by her role in a proud heritage. I extend one of my poems.
Love Found A Way
By Mark Anthony Grubb
I was crucified on Calvary's hill,
It was the plan and my father's will.
The cost of sin was mine to pay,
My father's love had found a way.
Hanging there I saw your face,
And every soul in the human race.
I recalled that day when I was born
How I was loved on Christmas morn.
Son of man turning thirty three
Was born to die upon this tree.
I felt your pain and all your strife,
I surrendered all and gave my life.
The sky turned dark as angels cried
I tasted death, but I did not die.
I did God's will and did obey
My father's love had found a way.

Mrs. parks was notable women and will never be forgotton for her bravery and sense of justice. The Almighty is a God of justice and he will see to it that your loved one will be resurrected among millions and "they will actually sit each one under his vine, "and there will be no one making them tremble."- Mic 4:4. Rejoice in the hope that your loved one will live on a paradise earth where no pain, no death, and no sorrow will exist.
