Statement of U.S. Senator Russ Feingold On the Passing of Rosa Parks October 25, 2005 “I join the millions of Americans who are deeply saddened today at the loss of civil rights pioneer, Rosa Parks. It was Rosa Parks’ principled courage that would spark the civil rights movement and teach us all how much of a difference one person can make. While we mourn her passing, we celebrate her great contribution in the fight for equality and dignity for all Americans.”
