L.A. FREAK ENJOYING LIFE

Portrait of Rosa Parks, 1956 (Rosa Park Papers/Library of Congress)

The story of Rosa Parks’ heroism during The Civil Rights Movement is a well known one. Rosa’s refusal to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955, sparked laws to be lifted years later, enabling black people to sit where they chose.

The Library Of Congress is currently displaying a collection of rare, never-before-seen photos, letters and documents belonging to Parks, entitled Rosa Park Papers.

Here is a tiny taste of what you’ll find in the collection.

If someone takes time out of their day to take you to their dealer (especially when they’re in the midst of panhandling to get well) you fucking break bread. I don’t care who you are. I don’t care how important you find yourself and your habit. If someone is nice enough to help you get dope you help them out in return. This middle man didn’t have to help you. This middle man could have let you go and buy shitty dope. Especially if you aren’t about to get sick. YOU CAN BREAK BREAD. I make sure the middle man gets decently well if I have to have someone hook it up for me.
