My grandfather met Rosa Parks in Baltimore.
He was angry that to the day she still needed security because of white people that want to cause her harm.
Rosa's is a reminder that the fight is not over.
If you would like a copy of this literature- I have a spare I can send.

America is an amalgamation of cultures. Any reference to "Defend your culture" in terms of public policy is outright nazi speak.
American culture is all culture, and the right to express it.
