Sunday, 27 January 2013 | Kiosk Collective Today in 1913: Civil-
rights activist Rosa Parks is born in Tuskegee, Alabama. In
1943, Parks will become one of the NAACP’s first women members.
She will also join the Montgomery Voters League to encourage
black registration. In her most famous act of resistance, on
December 1st, 1955, Parks will refuse to surrender her seat to a
white passenger in a city bus, sparking the successful
Montgomery bus boycott. Parks’ activism will make it impossible
for her to find work in Montgomery. So she will move to Detroit
and continue the struggle. It’s today’s Action Calendar! Learn
how to plant a rain garden at an upcoming workshop, scheduled
for Saturday, March 2 at the Verona Public Library. Attendees
can learn how rain gardens help lakes and streams, and how to
plan for and install them. There is a small cost for the
workshop. The registration form is available online at
