I agree with lowercase white. It now needs Blacks to be in lowercase also to be consistent. Parks recalled going to elementary school in Pine Level, where school buses took white students to their new school and Black students had to walk to theirs: must be wrong.
Is I'd see the bus pass every day ... But to me, that was a way of life; we had no choice but to accept what was the custom. The bus was among the first ways I realized there was a Black world and a White world. an exception as the 'worlds' counter each other. Is it a Black World and a White World, I am unsure.

Following on from the change of White -> white, I have also suggested similar for general statements such as a group of Black men falsely accused where it is a generic grouping. I think that Black community should stay as is. I will wait awhile to see if anyone comments. It would in any event be good for another editor to review if I make the changes.

The opening section calls her an "American activist in the civil rights movement." I don't know what the styleguide is here, but I feel like changing it to "American Civil Rights Activist" would be less wordy and more digestible. Silvanathecat (talk) 13:55, 23 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There are a few sources connecting her with Order of Eastern Star freemasons in Alabama such as the library congress' subject file. I am wondering why there is no discussion here of this already, is it that the number of sources aren't very high, or that the authenticity is questionable?

Little studied is the impact of Rosa Parks' robust yoga practice in her activism. In 1973, she started demonstrating her yoga at activist gatherings. Historian Natalia Mehlman Petrzela writes in her book Fit Nation (2022) that it "was important to her life but long unacknowledged as part of her civil-rights activism". A photograph available in the Library of Congress shows her in 1973 in leotards on her knees on a yoga mat. Queen Peen (talk) 16:58, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
