Rosa Parks

I heard or read somewhere a few days ago that $80,000 in discretionary funds will be used to hang five plagues at Troy University in memory of Rosa Parks. Since I was astounded by this, I would really like to find the article to confirm my facts.

If these facts are correct, I feel that the legacy of Rosa Parks would be better served by spending this $80,000 toward civil rights. Money could be applied to anger-management classes for children, to educate children about domestic abuse and hate crimes. This is not just an issue for the black community but for all communities; however, I believe that Rosa Parks, being the gracious lady she was, would prefer that the money be used for something other than five plaques. There is a plethora of tributes, plaques, and memorials to this wonderful lady. Why not give something to enhance the lives of the children whose lives she made better by her courageous stand 50 years ago?

I would appreciate responders not e-mailing me with advertisements to their drug sites or whatever. That is not the purpose of this blog.

Thank you!

My Photo
Name:
Location: Montgomery, Alabama, United States

I am a retired legal secretary and widow. I grew up in Midway, AL and graduated from Union Springs High School (now Bullock County High). I attended business school; went to Atlanta and lived there for 13 years; lived and worked in Silver Spring, Maryland for seven years. I have a daughter and two granddaughters, and am the middle child of five. Both parents are no longer living. My mother was quite a poet and my father was a self-taught musician and a very good one. My 30-year-old nephew, Bruce Evans, was killed in the line of duty with the Jackson County, MS Sheriff's Department on July 18, 2000, leaving a beautiful wife and two beautiful children, ages 8 and 5 1/2, so I suppose that pushes me to make my voice heard about crime and punishment.
