MANKATO, Minn. – The City of Mankato is honoring the legacy of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks this week by saving her a seat on every city bus.
Mankato Transit has placed a sign on every saved seat reminding riders about Parks’ historic role in ending racial segregation on buses and other facilities in the south. Each sign also includes a QR code that links to additional information about Parks through the Blue Earth County Library.
The program continues through Friday.
