The hidden life of Rosa Parks - Riché D. Richardson

[@minhat9500]

"I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality and justice and prosperity for all people.” “I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.” - Rosa Parks -

Good quote

[@d12kiem7]

I like how they finally mentioned her livelihood. She worked as a seamstress to help make ends meet and didn't magically have means out of thin air as most biographies or videos about historically important people who struggled often neglect-why do they do that? Does having a job take away a sort of legendary status? I also liked how they honestly said her political activism made it hard for her to get a job after getting arrested. It's a real story that happens to many who fight the system to this day!

[@abhishekkumar3679]

@Brownskikuca Garlic Bread There are definitely some people who do in places that need such fighters. But yeah, most present day social justice warriors in America are a parody of real reformers.

Rosa Parks you shall not be ever Forgotten.

[@joshuadurham1257]

Rosa parks don't give up the seat cuz you have a rights to make us gives a freedom and courageous about the bus from Cleveland avenue and somewhere else to exchange the political party and segregation breaking down for at this institution. If she did that it would be easier way. But I love the inspiration lifetime of Rosa parks bringing up the powerhouse to those who having a hard time to having fight for justice.

[@Suiseisexy]

Sorry, it's still unforgivable that I was told the Rosa Parks story as gospel truth in school as a child. You people actively lied, you are lying now. You cannot be trusted and will never be trusted so long as anyone is still alive that remembers you are liars. You deserved Donald Trump, you deserve Vladimir Putin and you deserve whatever else is going to happen. Because nobody can trust you nothing good can ever happen.

Did you actually watch the video? She worked for civil rights for our people. That was not inspired by a 15 years. She worked with the NAACP for many years!!!!!!!! She established a school. She was an activist!

[@uniqueusername_]

“They planned a 24-hour bus boycott. It lasted 318 days.” This is just one example of how people already want freedom, and have little to lose, only need a spark to create a bonfire of liberation and organization. Sometimes humanity has a good side after all.

[@mishimoshi]

errr not to be a party pooper but it was 381 days which is a very significant difference since I realised it lasted for more than a year.

[@amandadatbenik88]

[@joashberkeley8988]

Thank you Skookum! I'll pass along your compliment to the team.

[@huntersinclair961]

Why wasn’t Claudette Colvin mentioned? She was the first one to actually say no and what Rosa did was planned ahead of time, it was a staged incident. I’m not taking away from what Rosa did, but she wasn’t a mere victim, she planned it. Claudette was the inspiration for what Rosa later did

[@Vianeigh863]

Hunter Sinclair Because Claudette was a 15 year old pregnant teenager. Sadly she never gets recognition. :(

[@pussie6179]

She walked so rosa can run

[@hkr667]

@Christian Tompkins This is a video specifically talking about the bus incident and what it changed. It's a logical place to name her 'predecessor'. When I watch a video about Apollo 11 I damn well expect them to acknowledge it wasn't the first rocket ever built, too.

[@richedeianne]

The Browder v. Gayle case that ended the boycott would have been the most ideal context in which to mention her, because she was not the only person who resisted the system prior to Rosa Parks, but there were 3 others. The long history of people who had resisted the discrimination on buses in Montgomery also included Jo Ann Robinson, who was a major architect of the boycott. We might have considered Pauli Murray, or Ida B. Wells. With more time, there are so many illustrations that we might have explored, who paved the way to Rosa Parks. The Rosa Parks Children's Museum in Montgomery does an excellent job of spotlighting aspects of this longer history, alongside the tour in the main museum. The scripts we worked from were much longer and included more information in the beginning, but there's only so much storytelling that can be mentioned in such a short production. It's really an invitation to dig deeper. The father of the civil rights movement, E.D. Nixon, is often forgotten or sidelined in a lot of the dialogues on civil rights history, and doesn't receive a lot of emphasis here. But the main goal was to take up the life and story of Rosa Parks.

[@Kage-jk4pj]

Love how they hearted almost every other comment. But when someone notices they have a massive glaring omission. They ignore that comment.

[@seagers_studio]

The silhouettes of the clan, followed by the window turning into a burning cross was a creative and disturbing bit of animation. Powerful!

[@ashishtripathi8598]

I came to know about her from one of my school lessons "Rosa Parks Sat Still" .

[@veekhoo8016]

I'm glad to finally see a more accurate portrayal of her life. We often see a summed up, short event making her seem frail when in reality she had been working hard throughout her entire life. It's sad that it's often overlooked how many other amazing things she did.

[@richedeianne]

I'm thankful to have been a part of this project and so agree with you. Even so, there's so much more that our short time did not allow us to cover. Really, the challenge is to continue to study her. I highly recommend the brilliant political biography written by the historian Jeanne Theoharris, along with the several books published by Rosa Parks.

"No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in. I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear. Each person must live their life as a model for others. Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome. Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others. I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free... so other people would be also free. All I was doing was trying to get home from work. My only concern was to get home after a hard day's work. Our mistreatment was just not right, and I was tired of it. I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move." -*Rosa Parks*
