The Third Annual Rosa Parks Day was celebrated at Springfield Technical
Community College in a very appropriate way on Nov. 30. The newly created
student group, Mobilization Against Poverty, Racism and War, based at the
college, was officially inaugurated that day as a student organization.
Rodnell Collins, nephew of Malcolm X, delivered the keynote address for Rosa
Parks Day at the college-wide commemoration. Members of the Mobilization were
instrumental in organizing support for the recent Sept 29th Encampment and
March on Washington, organized by the Troops Out Now Coalition. The Rosa Parks
Day event was organized by Rosa Parks Committee co-founders Professor Nick
Camerotta of the Western Mass. IAC and E. Henry Twiggs. For more info:
