Its called respect. Being in VMI I figured you would understand that. Do they not say that any soldier who falls in combat deserves a final salute? She may not have been on a foreign battlefield but she played her part.
I'm not trying to put Rosa Parks on any giant pedestal but when somebody takes part in changing this country their passing should be noted. Thats why we have memorial day, to remember those who fought for others. In the same way, why shouldn't we show respect to someone who strived to see that America's own citizens are equal?
