On this day, 1 December 1955 Rosa Parks, a Black civil rights activist, refused her bus driver’s order that she give up her seat in the "coloured" section to a white passenger after the white section was filled in Montgomery, Alabama. Contrary to the popular myth that Parks was simply a woman who was tired at the end of the work day and so refused to stand up, she was actually an activist dedicated to fighting segregation, had attended direct action training and had undertaken fundraising work to support other Black women who had previously been arrested for refusing to vacate their seats for white people, like 15 year old Claudette Colvin. Parks later declared "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in." Parks' act triggered a widespread bus boycott across the city, which successfully desegregated public transport in the area. The protest also gave added impetus to the civil rights movement across the US.

AFRICA A LONG WAY FROM INTEGRATION

How is Africa supposed to grow and develop when it remains largely disconnected, its people alien to each other? 

According to the Africa Visa Openness Index of 2024, more than half of the countries require entry visas. African countries have chosen to retain borders that colonialists imposed even though those colonialists do not let their borders affect trade and movement. 

Despite the African Union adopting Agenda 2063 in 2015, an initiative to create an integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa with a stronger continental identity, little has changed nine years later.
