Rosa Parks and the History of Armed Resistance

Mo'fax reveals the lesser-known history of Rosa Parks, whose husband and grandfather were both known for being armed and ready to defend their family against white aggressors. He notes that Parks herself once remarked on the abundance of guns on the table during civil rights meetings.
