U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow joined President Barack Obama for the ceremonial unveiling of the new Rosa Parks Statue in the U.S. Capitol building this week. Rosa Parks moved to Michigan in 1957, and she lived there until her death in 2005.

"Rosa Parks proved that the simplest acts can be the most heroic," Stabenow said. "By courageously sitting down to stand up for her basic human dignity, she changed our nation's history and made America a more just place. I'm proud that she will be recognized in our nation's Capitol, and all of us in Michigan should be proud that Rosa Parks chose to make our state her home."
