There's something that we must correct the record on, for I know indeed that the facts indicate that Rosa Louise Parks died on October 24th, 2005. But let the record really reflect that the truth is that prior to December 1st, 2005, she died, for indeed she was crucified with Christ, and it was no longer her that was sitting in that seat, but it was the Christ in her that was sitting in that seat. The reason she responded with poise and dignity against the insults and threats of the bus driver was not because she was small in stature, but because she was already dead. But also let the record reflect that I know the facts state that she refused to give up her seat. Well, I began to search the word of God. And I remember reading somewhere in the word of God that clarified for me that although that was the fact, that she refused to give up her seat, the truth is, according to Ephesians two and six, the reason she couldn't give up her seat is because she was already seated in heavenly places with Christ Jesus far above principalities, dominions and powers. And so that's why she could not give up her seat.

Awesome. I just tried out this site, and...*sobs*...how do they know me so well?
Aha. Ahem. Er, I just realized (belated, I know) that I posted this comment on the wrong topic. My apologies.
This topic was excellent as well--I think Christ is the motiviation behind every good act. Where does it say that in the scriptures...everything that is good comes from God, and everything that is evil comes from the devil...What a fitting tribute to this woman who fought for goodness. Thanks for sharing.
