Alice Huffman, President of the California NAACP to deliver 2016 California Rosa Parks Day Keynote Address

On Friday, February 4, 2000, California Rosa Parks Day was established by the California State Legislature and today the celebration of Rosa Louise McCauley Parks is expanding throughout the Pan African Diaspora.

Preparations for the 2016 California Rosa Parks Day, Equity and Equal Opportunity in Global Intermodal Transportation Systems continue during this amazing Super Bowl Weekend.

Immortalized for her Dec. 1, 1955 refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Ala. bus to a white male passenger after the whites-only section was filled, Parks became known as the “mother of the Civil Rights Movement” because of her courage, dedication and service.

Rosa Parks, was a civil rights activist before, during and after the bus boycott, later moved to Detroit where she continued her activism and worked for Rep. John Conyers in his District Office.

Alice Huffman, is no stranger to the California State Capitol, she needs no introduction. Alice is a global political mover and shaker, while maintaining a “special hidden” gentle touch for the least among us…

An American political and civil rights icon, Alice Huffman, continues to serve as the President of the California Conference of NAACP and much, much more. Stay tuned for more information expanding Rosa Parks Day throughout the Pan African Diaspora
