I know that in life...everyone can't be everywhere. This goes for multimillion dollar celebrities as well. They give to charities and have ones that are close to their hearts. Maybe this wasn't the one.

Yeah, I agree with tafui, it is a 'lack of knowledge' that kept Mrs. Parks in these circumstances not a lack of good willed blacks arising to do something about it. More so, I think in the former article on Afrochat.news it was said, 'her church was paying the bills' or something to that effect.

Blacks need better PR among ourselves, that's the problem.
