Don't forget Claudette Colvin. When you read her story, understand her protest took place months before Parks', except that she was an unwed pregnant teen at the time, it shows more and more how Rosa Parks' was an entirely manufactured image.

Perhaps that's part of the awakening ... Leading people to realize the US is not exceptional (except in education, because since grades must be like golf scores, we're the champs) and it will take a lot of hard work to reclaim that.

Actually, as a side-bar thought: If our education system sucks that bad, then how do we know that the complete failures aren't really the geniuses, and the geniuses aren't the utter failures?

Government bureaucracies are like high school pep rallies - you're either on the floor playing or cheering, or in the bleachers watching, or you'll get a detention for anything else. Have you ever noticed nobody is ever promoted from the bleachers to the floor, or from the cheer squad to the team? No? Well, that's like the government too.

We'll paint a rainbo flag on the beaches, and then have electric scooters do e-burnouts on them? That'll show 'em.

Stillwater being a college town, and with a large population of exchange students, I wouldn't be surprised if any of them or the faculty gave themselves trans-cramps over whatever she wrote.
