\n<\/TABLE>In commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, UNMC Today continues its series of photos and quotations surrounding the civil rights leader. Today’s excerpt is brief, but historic. <\/p>\n

“No.” <\/p>\n

Rosa Parks<\/i><\/p>\n

(This may be the most famous “no” in modern American history. By uttering that single syllable when a bus driver demanded that she, a black woman, surrender her seat to a white man, Rosa Parks sparked a 13-month boycott that ended segregation in the Montgomery, Ala., bus system. The protest inspired 42 other local protests against segregation within a year.<\/p>\n
