Fun fact: Did Rosa Parks get in trouble in the early 1950s in Alabama because she was sitting in the "Whites Only" section of the bus? (See answer at end.)
The Presentation for the month of February was the video Mighty Times - the Legacy of Rosa Parks.
Fun fact answer: Actually, Rosa Parks was sitting in the "Colored Section" of the bus and was asked to stand because a white person wanted a seat. Her refusal to move led to her arrest and started a bus boycott that lasted more than a year under the leadership of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. It finally resulted in a Supreme Court decision that overturned segregation in public transportation.
