If I may.
What Mz Parks is trying to do is laudable. Making changes in social attitudes is difficult and sometimes being vociferous and leaving most of the sweet talk in the bedroom is necessary. Little gets done if you hide in the closet hoping that the ignorant will become educated and the social constraints we all have to live under will be fairly and equally developed and enforced. Talking big, talking loud and talking aggressively has worked in the past.

However, and you knew this was coming, her inability to work with those willing to support her within the community with most of the power and most of the fear of change shows her immaturity. The people with the power, the people who fear losing significance as other groups grasp at the strands of equality absolutely have to be convinced of the validity of Mz. Parks’ views. Without asking for and accepting the help of members of the power elite, she has no chance.

She has to recognize this.
