Congresswoman Johnson Honors Rosa Parks

Congresswoman Johnson delivered the keynote address at the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) celebration honoring the 60th anniversary of Rosa Parks powerful demonstration. 

"We are all intimately familiar with the legacy of Rosa Parks, widely regarded as the “mother of the Civil Rights Movement.” Sixty years ago tomorrow, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a public bus in Montgomery, Alabama. This single act unwittingly helped build the foundation for a nationwide movement to end the discriminatory policies of segregation." - Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson
