Change? Bah
An act of defiance can lead to nothing. Two black women had been arrested a few weeks before for refusing to give up their bus seats to whites -- and nothing came of it. It's shocking that Rosa Parks, those 50 or so years ago, would refuse the order to vacate. After all, what would change?
We all realize that our many small acts of defiance may lead nowhere. But Parks made us realize that eventually, change will come. She was a living symbol of hope. And that's why we all continue to resist.
