Two buses. Seventy years apart.
On December 21, 1956, Rosa Parks rode a Montgomery bus on its first day of desegregation. She sat under the gaze of white America after refusing to accept second-class citizenship.
On July 4, 2026, another Black woman sat alone on a bus reportedly filled with white supremacists traveling to a march in Washington, D.C.
Different decade. Different faces. Same message: Black existence is still treated by some as something to monitor, intimidate, or control.
America celebrates 250 years of liberty. Black Americans have spent much of those 250 years fighting to make those words apply to us too.
Different time. Same struggle. 🇺🇸
