Dumbest question ever? What she did took a level of courage that you can't fathom. She deserves all the respect that she has been given.

no.

i know a lot of people who were really close to her, and they all say without reservation that she was actually underrated in many ways. few people realize just how active she was in the years before she was arrested. this is really a sad day, but with her health, not at all a surprise

I hear they're going to put her casket at the back of the bus.

She was a very very Brave and good person, but she just happened to be at the right time at the right place, she is more of a Symbol than a hero.

Actually, she didn't just happen to be in the right place at the right time. The protest was planned in advance.

nope. she had training on non-violent protesting, but the protest was not at all planned. the protest was so effective partly b/c everyone was shocked it was her.

I should have learned more about her. My knowledge of Black History is limited to Spike Lee movies. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
