In 1955, Rosa Louise McCauley Parks refused to sit at the back of a pubic bus merely because of her race, leading to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Since then, America as a whole has obviously taken some giant steps toward racial equality. Above, President Barack Obama appears to be smiling as he exits a nearby bus (I like to believe that he's thinking of Rosa). This photograph is a reminder of how the Movement began in the mid 1900's, and that Obama is truly an amazing person for overcoming any of today's racial aspects of the presidential race.
