How Rosa Parks statue found home in Grand Rapids

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The statute of Rosa Parks in downtown Grand Rapids is entering its 10th year in 2020, and on Thursday, News 8 sat down with the man who helped shepherd the project through to completion. 

Armond Robinson says Park’s message is needed now even more than when it was dedicated. 

“It’s united folks of color. We’re moving forward, we stand up for Rosa and we’re moving forward,” Robinson said.
