Sorry, I missed out the apostrophe after Parks. Parks'.

Many thanks for that, danny.
It didn't exactly whip up a lively debate, but I'm pleased the anniversary didn't pass without being acknowledged.

The post in danny's link is ten years old. I am sure that there has been more recent discussion about the lady.

We could have had the anniversary back in March but since the first arrestee was a pregnant unmarried teenager the Civil Rights groups didn't think she was a worthy poster-girl for their grievances...
