On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, an African-American
woman named Rosa Parks refused orders to give up her seat on a
bus to a white person. Though not the first, this individual

of civil rights that eventually led to outlawing segregation
throughout the state. It was an incredibly courageous action by
an incredibly inspiring person, who went on to symbolize the

it clear that enough was enough, she could not have forseen how
much change her momentary, individual decision was to bring, and
how much better the world is that we live in now - because she
wasn't afraid to take a stand. See how each of us can make a
difference? On Friday, April 29th, please join Darien Library as
we take a Stand Against Racism. The Stand Against Racism is a

from all walks of life - across the country - to help eliminate
