Rosa Parks statue unveiled at US Capitol

Rosa Parks statue unveiled at US Capitol | Fox News

President Obama helped unveil a statue at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday of activist Rosa Parks, whose 1955 refusal to give up her seat to a white man on a city bus in segregated Alabama was a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement.

Obama said Parks has taken her rightful place among those who have shaped the course of U.S. history. "We do well by placing a statue of her here, but we can do no greater honor to her memory than to carry forward the power of her principle and a courage born of conviction," he said.

Wonder how much that cost the American taxpayer, and which Chinese company got the contract.

I'm not sure her's is not the only commemorative statue in the Capitol that's not standing. "I will NEVER give up this seat."

Wonder why nobody mentions that Obongo had Reid and Boehner both within arm's reach and didn't even mention a get together to solve the federal spending crisis.
