Rosa Parks
sitting undisturbed on a bus
in
Montogmery, Alabama,
in 1956,
a little over a year
after her seminal act of
defiance
triggered the civil rights movement
and turned the segregation in the
south
into an international scandal.
Ms Parks, pictured left in her 80s,
died yesterday aged 92

The Green Book / 'The Bible of Black Travel'
The Negro Motorist Green Book
Listed in the slim little book
were motels, diners,
even gas stations
that were black-owned or black-friendly.
Postal worker Victor H. Green
wrote and published the guide.
He initially focused on his town
— Harlem —
but eventually the books expanded
to cover almost every state.
These word-of-mouth suggestions
for safe passage
through a sometimes-hostile America were,
"sort of a 20th Century version
of the Underground Railroad,
and this annual travel guide
was the Bible of black travel,"
says Brent Leggs, the director
of the African American Cultural Heritage
Action Fund.
