- <p> When Rosa Parks said no, the lives of black Americans
- changed forever. Her refusal to yield her seat on a Montgomery
- bus back in 1955 touched off a lengthy bus boycott--led by
- a little known local minister named Martin Luther King Jr. The
- long march toward civil rights had begun. Parks now lives in
- Detroit, and last week she traveled to Washington for a gala
- tribute to honor her 77th year. Proceeds will go to a Detroit
- institute named for her and her late husband that seeks to
- inspire leadership among urban youth.
