please consider adding something about Rosa Parks time at Highlander

I came here to learn more about Rosa Parks fared time at the Highlander school in Tennessee and found nothing. We list her here as Highlander Alumni but don't mention this in the main Rosa Parks page.

In this lecture Professor Jonathan Holloway said "Parks was reluctant to go [to Highlander], but she had friends who were already committed to the movement in very public ways, convinced her to come along.". I found this interesting.

The dates she attended would be helpful as well. Michael Young Username (talk) 22:17, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

I found this news article. It says she attended a desegregation workshop in 1955 at Highlander (when she was an adult), not that she was ever a student. Schazjmd (talk) 22:32, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Interesting, that news article would have her in her attending in her forties as a married woman. Professor Holloway's lecture left me with the impression that it was in her youth however he never did give specifics. Thanks for unlocking a little bit of the mystery.

Actually, now that I look into the article further, Michael Young Username, it does already mention Highlander: Politically liberal, the Durrs became her friends. They encouraged—and eventually helped sponsor—Parks in the summer of 1955 to attend the Highlander Folk School, an education center for activism in workers' rights and racial equality in Monteagle, Tennessee. There Parks was mentored by the veteran organizer Septima Clark. Everything else indicates she lived in Alabama all through her school-age years so I wager that adult workshop was her only attendance at Highlander. Hope that helps!

Perfect, it's there all along. Duh. Thanks Schazjmd. So does this get closed out automatically or is there something I need to do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michael Young Username (talk • contribs)

Nothing more to do, Michael Young Username. Eventually our conversation will be archived. Have a great new year, and if you decide to stick around, happy editing! Schazjmd (talk) 01:00, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

AME Zion Church meeting

Our page describes this meeting as happing "that evening", which implies Mon Dec 5th 1955. This other page --> https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Montgomery_bus_boycott describes that meeting as happening "the next morning", which implies Tues Dec 6th 1955.

I don't know which is correct but I do know these both can't be true at the same time.

I'd like to add some information to this article regarding the recent Texas bill that passed in the 87th Legislature (HB 3481) that established December 1st as Rosa Parks Day in the state. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MickCL (talk • contribs)

 Done Texas has been added to this article. It was already included at Rosa Parks Day. Schazjmd (talk) 19:51, 1 December 2021 (UTC)

The Radicalism of Rosa Parks

{{subst:trim|1=

The Radicalism of Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks believed in taking a more Militancy approach towards her political views unlike Malcom X and MLK who had opposite ways of approaching their views. Her image was always downplayed and ignored, and many people did not know Rosa Parks was involved in NAACP, which is a Civil rights organization that was formed in 1909 as an interracial endeavor to advance justice for African Americans. Since Rosa Parks was a black woman, she had to carry herself like a lady and not speak up on the racial issues that were going on and instead the media would publish reports of her in a ladylike manner, “Reports referred to her variously as unassuming, genteel, attractive, soft spoken, quiet and refined (Theoharis, J. 117)”. This shows how the media downplayed her activism since she was a black woman and being a woman of color in society you are silenced and not shown the same respect as a man advocating for his rights. Parks embraced key aspects of Black Power politics such as self-defense, demands for more black history in the curriculum, Justice for black people in the criminal justice system which is something we do not learn about in our history classes growing up, but she played a key role in helping the foundations of Black power and black radicalism during the civil rights movement.

Maybe a typo?

In the Rosa Parks#Early activism section, the line is: In December 1943, Parks became active in the civil rights movement, joined the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP, and was elected secretary at a time when this was considered a woman's job. I think it should be "man's job" rather. Lightbluerain❄ (Talk💬 Contribs✏️) 17:45, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Lightbluerain, it's correct. Secretary was not considered a man's job in the 1940s. Schazjmd (talk) 18:54, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks. Lightbluerain❄ (Talk💬 Contribs✏️) 19:03, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

Chronology error in Death and funeral section

In the Death and Funeral section it says "Since the founding of the practice in 1852, Parks was the 31st person, the first American who had not been a U.S. government official, and the second private person (after the French planner Pierre L'Enfant) to be honored in this way. She was the first woman and the second black person to lie in honor in the Capitol.[89][90]" however Pierre L'Enfant in the linked article is said to have died in 1825 which would mean he died 27 years before the practice started. 2600:1702:3D20:E1C0:C8B1:47CB:41DA:6593 (talk) 06:17, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

Death and funeral capitalization error

The balloons at her funeral (a generally irrelevant detail imo) are erroneously capitalized as "White balloons". I think the whole sentence can be struck but that should get fixed at a minimum. Appears to be part of a blanket white->White caps pass. 2601:602:9700:A710:7076:286:3AAE:8ADF (talk) 10:50, 9 November 2022 (UTC)

Please note the new documentary The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks, and that it is the first full-length documentary about Parks. https://www.freep.com/story/entertainment/movies/julie-hinds/2022/10/19/rebellious-life-of-mrs-rosa-parks-now-streaming-on-peacock/69572255007/ 100.11.62.231 (talk) 22:24, 29 December 2022 (UTC)

Karen Ivery

She had her own Rosa Parks moment and is probably more historically significant today given how many more black people can read than when Rosa Parks was alive. She needs a section imo
