Rosa Parks was a Hero?
Rosa Parks has been in the media limelight a lot lately. There was a HBO special about her in 2002 and several books have been written on her "struggle".
What often isn't reported is that the event for which she has become so well known was staged by the NAACP. Parks was the Secretary of the NAACP, Montgomery, AL chapter at that time. She was also a member of the Socialist Party. On their website you can even find a book about how misrepresented Parks was as the kind of hero Capitalists can look up to. "The Legacy of Rosa Parks" directly states that:
It's ironic that Ms. Parks' body will be displayed at the Lincoln Memorial. Rosa Parks hated America while President Lincoln welded it together.

"The brave lady who is being memorialized as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" was a member of a well organized group ready to take action when she judged that the moment was right."
