Song Dedications For Ms. Rosa Parks This is a thread for song dedications to Ms. Rosa Parks who recently passed away. She was a wonderful lady that refused to accept the ignorance of the racist South in the days before integration. She lived for many years to see and enjoy the progress that was made by her and so many others of that era.
I see her actions as not only a role model for the black race, but also for the women's rights movement, the gay rights movement, and any other minority that has been ignorantly discriminated against. I will start by dedicating Prince's "Free" because now she is truly free. Andy is a four letter word. | |

If Your Love Cannot Be Moved by Stevie Wonder from his latest album is an excellent song to listen to right now.

'Sista Rosa'
by The Neville Brothers.... 
December 1, 1955, our freedom movement came alive. And because of Sister Rosa you know, we don’t ride on the back of the bus no more. Sister Rosa Parks was tired one day after a hard day on her job. When all she wanted was a well deserved rest Not a scene from an angry mob. A bus driver said, "Lady, you got to get up cuz a white person wants that seat." But Miss Rosa said, "No, not no more. I’m gonna sit here and rest my feet." Chorus Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark, You started our freedom movement Thank you Sister Rosa Parks. Thank you Miss Rosa you are the spark, You started our freedom movement Thank you Sister Rosa Parks. Now, the police came without fail And took Sister Rosa off to jail. And 14 dollars was her fine, Brother Martin Luther King knew it was our time. The people of Montgomery sit down to talk It was decided all gods’ children should walk Until segregation was brought to its knees And we obtain freedom and equality, yeah Chorus Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark, You started our freedom movement Thank you Sister Rosa Parks. We’ll sing it again Thank you Miss Rosa, you are the spark, You started our freedom movement Thank you Sister Rosa Parks. So we dedicate this song to thee for being the symbol of our dignity. Thank Sister Rosa Parks. Chorus 2x [Edited 10/27/05 15:56pm] | |
