By September of 2002, Rosa Park's 1955
home was unoccupied and in a bad state of repair. Demolition of
the apartment building appeared imminent.
In 2002, no sign identified this building as being historically significant. |

As time goes by, more and more of the
significant structures of the Civil Rights Movement are being torn down.
That fate apparently awaits Rosa Parks's 1955 home. |

This is the home of E. D. Nixon. In 1955 he was the head of the Montgomery branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. E. D. Nixon bailed Rosa Parks out of jail the night she was arrested. |
