The resolution celebrates the proposed Rosa Parks Day Act, which aims to designate December 1 as a federal holiday in honor of Rosa Parks' historic act of defiance in 1955 when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. This courageous act not only sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott but also played a significant role in the desegregation of Montgomery's public transportation system. The resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing and supporting the heroes of Alabama who have fought against injustice, highlighting Parks' moral leadership and the values of equality and justice she embodied.

The Alabama Legislature expresses its strong support for the Rosa Parks Day Act, viewing it as an opportunity to commemorate Parks' legacy and inspire individuals to become ethical leaders in their own communities. By endorsing this act, the legislature aims to promote the ongoing pursuit of justice, equality, and human dignity for all, reinforcing the significance of Parks' contributions to the civil rights movement and the fight against discrimination.
