An era has passed, in the person of a brave woman. Rosa Parks, one of the foremost icons of the civil rights movement, has passed away at the age of 92. Farewell and good rest to you, gentle lady. May the simple, eloquent blow you struck for freedom never be forgotten.

She lived a long and good life. Our RPG chat took a moment of silence for her when we heard.

"A half century ago, Rosa Parks stood up not only for herself, but for generations upon generations of Americans." -Sen. Ted Kennedy.

Not to make light of the matter, but the whole point was sort of that she didn't stand up...
