Rosa Parks Road

   A small group in suburban Atlanta's Clayton County are lobbying for the change of a road name. They want Tara Boulevard, named after the plantation from Margaret Mitchell's "Gone With the WInd' to be renamed in honour of the mother of the civil rights movement, Rosa Parks.
    What a radical idea! Imagine the local yokels taking a step to leave behind the plantation mentality. To paraphrase a GWTW quote, I can just hear the members of groups like "The Daughters of the Confederacy" now. "Lawdy lawd, Miz Rosa, we doan know nothun' 'bout birthin' no new road names!" What do you think? Will those backward thinking powers-that-be in Clayton County be capable of taking a step forward into the brave new world?
