and was part o f a series of
events scheduled throughout the
day to honor her.
Stroman looked around the
bus and gathered his thoughts
before saying: "It's such apower-
ful experience to be actually in
the seat that Rosa Parks sat in.
It's almost emotional — very
overwhelming to be here."
The Parks stamp is the second
in a set of civil rights stamps being
issued this year by the U.S. Postal
Service.
USPS launched the series
Jan. 1 with the Em ancipation
