ttraw26, It is remarkable that you have captured the magnitude of our beloved Rosa Park's very well-known story in less than 50 words. I applaud the immense amount of thought and passion required to capture such an awesome historical event. You're truly talented! I'm definitely looking forward to reading more of your poetry! :)
