Last week, Rosa Parks, the legendary figure from the Civil Rights Movement, passed away at the age of 92.
Moved by her death, students held a somber vigil last night in honor of her life and legacy. Organized by UC Santa Cruz's African/Black Student Alliance (A/BSA), the late-night vigil featured song, prayer, a moment of silence, and speeches on Parks' life.
