Rosa Parks statua za Mostar
Donation protected
Pomozite nam da sakupimo 22.000 KM potrebne za izradu kipa Rose Parks u Mostaru.
Mi smo grupa gradjana i gradjanki koji žele postaviti njen bronzani kip na jednu od postojecih klupa u gradu, npr. ispred Gimnazije, u kojoj se vrsi segregacija ucenika kroz projekat “Dvije skole pod jednim krovom”.
Rosa Parks je utjelovljenje građanskog aktivizma koji je neophodan da bismo napravili demokratsko I pravedno društvo. Naime, Rosa je 1.12.1955. godine, vraćajući se kući nakon dugog radnog dana u krojačnici, odbila poslusati vozača koji joj je naredio da se ustane sa mjesta koje je u autobusu bilo predvidjeno za bijelce.
S obzirom da su tadašnji zakoni propisivali da se čak I u javnom prevozu afro-amerikanci moraju odvojiti od bijelaca, tj. da za njih moraju postojati odvojena sjedišta, Rosa je uhapšena a kasnije I odvedena na sudjenje zbog gradjanskog neposluha. Kao reakcija, uslijedio je bojkot javnog prevoza u Montgomeriju od strane afro-američkog stanovništva I jedan od najmasovnijih pokreta protiv rasne segregacije u historiji. Rosa Parks je proglašena majkom modernog Pokreta za ljudska prava od strane SAD Kongresa.
S obzirom na to da Mostarci I Mostarke već godinama žive u situaciji sličnoj onoj u kojoj je živjela Rosa Parks, u kojoj nam se već godinama krše osnovna demokratska prava - da biramo I budemo birani- te da su razni oblici fašizma, seksizma I segregacije prisutni u samom sistemu koji od nas traži da budemo potčinjeni I poslušni, smatramo da nam je upravo neophodna ova filozofija nenasilnog nepokoravanja i građanskog neposluha.
Trebaju nam uzori poput Rose Parks. Historija je pokazala da su svi oblici fašizma, seksizma, segregacije ili diskriminacije po bilo kojem osnovu pogrešni I neodrzivi. Vrijeme je da se I mi obračunamo s njima! Promjena se neće desiti sama I neće je niko napraviti za nas. U borbi za naša prava svi treba da učestvujemo jer smo svi važni, jednako kako je jedna krojačica iz Montgomerija bila važna za američki Pokret za ljudska prava.

Please help us raise 22,000 BAM (Bosnian Marks) needed to create and install a statue of Rosa Parks in Mostar.
We are a group of concerned citizens of Mostar that wishes to install a statue of Rosa Parks onto one of the existing benches in the city, such as in-front of the Gymnasium high school that is actively participating in student segregation via the “two schools under one roof” project.
Rosa Parks is an embodiment of citizen activism needed to create a democratic and fair society. On December 1st 1955 while returning home after a long work day as a seamstress, Rosa Parks refused the orders of the drivers demanding she vacate her seat as it was intended for the whites. Considering the laws at the time that prescribed segregation even in the public transportation Rosa Parks was arrested and later tried for disobedience. The reaction was a boycott of public transportation by the Afro-American population in Montgomery, AL and one of the movements against racial segregation in history. Later on The United States Congress has declared Rosa Parks "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement".
Citizens of Mostar have been living for years in similar conditions Rosa Parks experienced without the basic democratic rights to vote and be voted for, and that different manifestations of fascism, sexism, and segregation exist within the governing system asking for categorical obedience, we believe we need this illustration of non-violent citizen protest and disobedience.
We need to look up to the example Rosa Parks has provided us. History has proven that all forms and manifestations of fascism, sexism, segregation, and discrimination on any basis are inhumane and unsustainable. In this fight for our rights we all need to participate because every voice is equally important, just like one voice of a seamstress from Montgomery was important for the American Human Rights movement.
