| Christian Faith of Rosa Parks |
Rosa Parks said, “As a child, I learned from the Bible to
trust in God and not be afraid. I felt the Lord would give me the strength to
endure whatever I had to face.”
In honor of what would have been Rosa Park’s 100th
birthday, the Henry Ford Museum initiated a National Day of Courage on February
4, 2013. Many gave tribute to the bravery of the former Alabama seamstress, who
on December 1, 1955, chose to disobey the unjust segregation law by refusing to
give her bus seat to a white man.
What many history books and public speakers fail to
mention is the Christian faith of Rosa Parks. Her faith in Jesus Christ was integral
with the choices she made in her life—some of which changed the lives of millions.
