February 4, 1913 – Rosa Parks
“The First Lady of Civil Rights”, Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was born on February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger on December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama. When Rosa Parks kept her seat on that bus, she stood up for the dignity and civil rights of every African American in the United States.

Her very patriotic and brave act was the stimulus that helped strengthen the Montgomery Bus Boycott and civil rights demonstrations around the country. Parks actions became a symbol of support against the crude racial discrimination that was prevalent in the south and many parts of the country. Her arrest for refusing the bus drivers demand to give up her seat on the bus to a white person helped initiate support for the cause of eliminating segregation. Parks at the time was secretary of the Montgomery Chapter of the NAACP, but she acted that day on her own. Rosa Parks died on October 24, 2005 in Detroit, Michigan at age 92. #

Greetings,

We are delighted to announce that registration for the Worthy of Wellness workshops created and facilitated by Dr. Della Mosley, University of Florida is up and running.

We hope that Dr. Mosley’s radical healing approach to processing racial trauma will be useful to USD’s BIPOC community members campus-wide. There are separate Worthy of Wellness sessions for BIPOC faculty, for BIPOC staff, and for BIPOC students. The attached flyer has registration links for each. Please share widely with students and colleagues in your networks who might benefit.

If you have ideas for other kinds of events or programs that you would like to see the Center for Educational Excellence put together, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Your CEE Team: Lisa, Rhea, and Brianna (in collaboration with Richard Miller and the Center for Inclusion and Diversity)
