Rosa Parks was more than some historical accident. In fact, she prepared for her moment in history for years. Parks was serving as volunteer field secretary for the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP in 1955. She also served on the Women's Political Council in the city, an organization that had been out front seeking equal rights for blacks. - - - GLAD to see an accurate story rather than she was just tired that day. It makes her story even brighter because she knew what she was letting herself in for. Segragation was the shame of ALL of us, north and south.

Rosa Parks was more than some historical accident. She was another person that refused to obey the law.

The object used to remit postage is generally termed "postage stamp". Postal stamp refers more to rubber-stamped inkings, such as 'Special Delivery' or 'Air Mail'.
