Or how about not making a stand for civil rights on a young black woman who refused to move on a bus because she was a single mother?

Optics matter, these things are political and need to be as close to bulletproof as possible to make an impact.

If anything your example reinforces my point.

People SHOULD have made an stand on civil rights on Claudette too -- not just Rosa.
