” ‘Rosa Parks Boulevard’ pays tribute to the woman who helped set in motion the modern civil rights movement by her refusal to move to the back of the bus in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama….. For me, Rosa Parks stands for the willingness to challenge boundaries and cross over them.”

-Michael Daugherty, composer http://www.michaeldaugherty.net

All the strength required to perform this most powerful music pales in comparison to that displayed by the mightily courageous seamstress: Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005)

May she rest in hard-won peace.
