Rosa Parks Day to be proclaimed annually on February fourth.
9.163. The governor shall issue annually a proclamation setting apart
the fourth day of February as "Rosa Parks Day" and recommending to the
people of the state that the day be appropriately observed in honor of and
out of respect for Rosa Parks, an African-American woman who refused to
give up her bus seat to a white man, an act of defiance that opened a
decisive chapter in the civil rights movement in the United States.
