California Governor Schwartzenegger Press Conference at Rosa Parks Middle School
Preparations for Rosa Parks Day in California will spread the spirit of Rosa Parks throughout the State of California and continue to make change. The broader historical legacy of Civil Rights in the State of California remains an open secret. We must understand the past clearly to have a greater appreciation of the present. Margret Fortune summed up the crisis best, "Right now, 80 percent of African American students who graduate from our public schools here in California are not even eligible to apply to our public university. That's a crisis. That means we're setting them up to go to prison. That's not an exaggeration; it's a reality."
