It's true what happen. But I think it mean that Rosa started what had happen. Then Martin Luther King took it from there. They're trying to say Obama only became president because Martin changed everything. Obama is president so kids can be free.

It means that 1 ordinary woman stood her ground and didn't get out of her seat for a white man and Martin Luther King was inspiered by that and let a boycott, and Barack Obama became president so that we all can have a better country. Ihis all means that 40 or so years ago someone made a difference and it backfired in the year 2008!

What it means to me: I think Obama's presidency will mean fundamentally transforming the United States of America into a socialist country so that the wealth will be redistributed from the rich to the poor. Who holds the wealth? Who are the poor of our nation?
