Honorary Degree from Mount Saint Vincent University
In July 1998 Rosa Parks traveled to Halifax, Nova Scotia, to oversee the Pathways to Freedom bus tour co-sponsored by the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development and the Nova Scotia Pathways to Freedom Organizing Committee. That year, youth from Nova Scotia and the United States participated in a training and history tour to learn more about the province's earliest black settlements. While in Halifax, Rosa received an honorary degree from Mount Saint Vincent University at a special convocation held in her honor. |
