On Monday, in honor of what would have been her 100th birthday, the United States Postal Service will release a forever stamp of Rosa Parks.

In 1955, Parks refused to give up her seat on a municipal bus to a white man, defying the discriminatory laws of that time.

The stamp is the second in a series of three Civil Rights stamps being released this year that celebrates freedom, courage and equality.

You can purchase the stamp at your local post office.
