: Geez... every here of a little thing called the Civil Rights Movement? 
: Rosa Parks set off a boycott of the Montgomery, Al. bus system by
: refusing to give up her seat to a white man and was thrown in jail
: because of it, starting the boycott lead by a fella named Martin Luther
: King, and why the hell didn't you learn all this in school, or at least
: the papers?

Because he's from Norway?

I'm from Australia, and I've never heard of Rosa Parks either. Though
how much would the yanks know about the histories of other countries?
I'd bet money that less than 10% of the yanks could find Australia in
