Sometimes I feel bad about grumbling so often about events in the US, so I thought I'd mention here a particularly American story demonstrating the power of modest individual courage: Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Protest.

And here's a pic taken fifty-eight years later, of a black US President sitting in Rosa's seat. So that's symbolic of another story which, despite some ups and downs, has had its feel-good moments too. It makes quite a moving photo imo.
