President Obama aboard the bus ridden by Rosa Parks, at Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan
“I just sat in there for a moment and pondered the courage and tenacity that is part of our very recent history but is also part of that long line of folks who sometimes are nameless, oftentimes didn’t make the history books, but who constantly insisted on their dignity, their share of the American dream.” - President Barack Obama, April 18, 2012 (Official White House Photo by Pete Souza) — with Maria Wills.
