Calligraphy

The story of Rosa Parks’s bus stand received international newspaper coverage. Her humble demeanor and philosophy of “Quiet Strength” were particularly resonant in Asia. She was sent prayer beads from India, received an honorary degree from Soka University, and her books were translated into Japanese. These paper strips showing “Mrs. Rosa Parks” written in Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, and Tamil scripts further attest to the high esteem in which she was held.
