On Sunday, Rosa Parks, the 92-year old symbol of the civil rights movement who refused to turn over her bus seat to a white man in the winter of 1955, thus sparking what would become one of the most profound human rights crusades in history, died quietly at her home in Detroit.
Fr. Frank Pavone, head of the group, Priests for Life, said yesterday that Parks should be an inspiration and a symbol for the pro-life movement because of her recognition of divine law over the law of man.
