And just for the record, a Google search of Rosa Parks name (in quotes) returns exactly 1,060,000 results (in .23 seconds). Weird that it would such an exact number no?
Reminds me of the story I heard about the first men to climb to the top of Mt. Everest. They determined the height was 29,000 feet, but they gave a slightly different figure because they worried nobody would believe such an exact number. Later GPS measurements determined the mountain is 29,035 feet in height, so they were pretty close. Those measurements also showed the mountain is moving a couple in inches a year. Wait long enough and it may be in your backyard!
There an an excellent interactive 360 degree video from the top of Everest here.
None of which has much to do with Rosa Parks, except for the fact that she reached new heights for the Civil Rights movement with her simple yet monumental achievement 55 years ago today.
