Transit System Honors Rosa Parks by Reserving One Seat on Every Bu

The Milwaukee County Transit System honored RosaParks by keeping an open seat with a rose on every bus from Friday through Sunday.  Every bus reserved a seat for Rosa Parks with a red rose, her picture, and a sign with one of her famous quotes: “My only concern was to get home after a hard day’s work.”

This is the fourth year the Milwaukee County Transit System has reserved a seat to honor Parks.

Parks was arrested on December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on the bus.
