February 4th -- Ah ha, hush that fuss!!! Rosa Parks
Look, we all know the story from our regular Black History Month lessons in school… On December 1, a then-42 year-old Rosa was tired after work and refused to give up her seat on the bus.
And so on and so forth.
I promised not to kill the two of you in the face with the standard-fare “peanut butter, MLK, stoplight, open heart surgery” shit that we normally got during February as kids.
We’re here to bid the “mother of the civil rights movement” a happy birthday, though she passed away in October of 2005.
I really do hate that, in her later years while she was suffering from dementia that her greedy-ass family – unable to have capitalized on her status in Civil Rights – tried to SUE Outkast over the above named song.
Again, none of these posts will be as long as has been my norm for the years, I am here to provide the what/who and why it matters to a given date in February, then keep it moving.
[Phlip note – that and I ain’t trying to get plagiarized for some kid’s paper in the coming years following a google search]
I’ll see you folks tomorrow with something new.
