“At the invitation of funeral organizers, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa eulogized civil rights icon Rosa Parks in Detroit Wednesday, saying she helped pave his way to become the first Hispanic mayor of Los Angeles.
“We’re here today and I’m here today, the first from my community, on the shoulders of (former Mayor) Tom Bradley and Rosa Parks,” Villaraigosa told the crowd. “I’m here today because there was a Civil Rights Act. I’m here today because there was a Voting Rights Act.”
