Description
1913-2005 In 1955, s 42 yr. old seamstress from Montgomery. Al. took an empty seat near the "colored section" of the bus, exhausted from sewing all day at a dept. store. City ordinance required blacks not only to be barred from the front of the bus, but that they relinquish their seats in the middle of the bus to any whites left standing. As the front of the bus filled up, the driver ordered Rosa to give up her seat to a white man. When she refused, she was arrested and the rest is history. Ride on, Rosa...ride on!

Of all my art on FAA, I'm glad to know that this was the one sold to a collector in Lewisburg, Pa. today. It may not technically be my best painting, but, it delivers the best message. Thank you, Lewisburg!
