Last night I was sitting reading my wonderful American Heritage textbook that I only have 1 chapter left to read (Kip Dynamite Bowling Reference: 'Yesssssssss'). Anyways I was reading about the Civil Rights movement and the Supreme Court and the influence it has had one the country, and one of the people highlighted was Rosa Parks. Then I get on Google this morning and low and behold...
Today is the anniversary of the day Rosa Parks wouldn't give up her seat on that bus in Montgomery, Alabama, which started the Montgomery bus boycott which led to a large amount of Civil Rights activist movements. It is sad that even after Slavery was emancipated it took almost a century for Jim Crow laws, and segregation to be eliminated in this nation. I am happy we live where we do today, where everyone is free and equal and that it is a time when we are protected by a wonderful Constitution.
I woke up early and got to go the temple this morning, and even got to do some family names for my friend Corinne and her sister's family. It was a great experience. It started to snow right when we got there at 5:30 AM and now there is more snow here. I just love the snow here because it is just like flour. And that means its harder to get hit by unsuspecting snowballs because it is harder to make them!
Have a great day!
Flour snow is awful give it a few days and it will be better for making snowmen and snowballs. I can't imagine anyone would try and hit you with snowflour! haha
