Its so difficult for me to comprehend the world she lived in and the things she must have witnessed. I just can't wrap my mind around it. I don't understand how grown people could treat other human beings the way way they did back then! A grown man wanting a women to get up and give him her seat??? I mean, who in the hell did he think he was?!?! Royalty? I can't even imagine the arrogance.
I realize in some places it isn't much better these days, but its at least something that our government honored her the way they did. It gives me a little bit of hope for the human race.
