Six Months Too Late
I read this in yesterday’s Boston Globe:
Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus in December 1955. The Montgomery City Council has had more than half-a-century to apologize. It seems to me that had they really wanted to apologize, they would have done so while Parks was still alive.
Parks died on October 24, 2005. Would it have killed those dumb fucks to apologize six months ago?
MONTGOMERY, Ala. The City Coucil has a message for late civil rights icon Rosa Parks and other blacks who were mistreated in Montgomery during the 1950s:
We’re sorry.
The majority-white council voted unanimously Tuesday to make a formal apology to Parks, who died in October, and four women who filed a federal lawsuit that resulted in court orders mandating the desegregation of city buses.
The council’s resolution also apologized to “all others who suffered the same indignities” as Parks.
