I personally don’t see the problem with Metro Houston (my city) giving tribute to Rosa Parks this way. After all, they are doing their part. I don’t expect Metro Houston to do everything https://t.co/XzGLFqlUOH

Houston, you want to honor Rosa Parks? Take the money you spent on this stunt and donate it to a voting rights organization.
