Parks, a civil rights icon who in 1955 refused to give up his bus seat to a white man and sparked the Montgomery bus boycott to protest segregation of seats on public transportation.

“ROSA is meticulously crafted with divinity in the details. Each constellation element in its composition contributes to the sets’ alluring yet majestic gravitas. Available in Sea Salt and Light Pink.”
