In a gesture marking her importance, she became the first woman and the first African American woman to lie in honor at the Capitol Rotunda. Parks also will be the first African American woman to be honored permanently in National Statuary Hall. Legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate in November directed the Architect of the Capitol to commission a statue of Parks. Her likeness will stand beside presidents and staunch segregationists in the hall, including Confederate heroes Robert E. Lee and Jefferson Davis.

I felt just resigned to give what I could to protect against the way I was being treated. I didn&#8217;t have any special fear. It was more of a relief to know that I wasn&#8217;t alone. To this day, I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom. I think when you say you&#8217;re happy, you have everything that you need and everything that you want, and nothing more to wish for.
