Montgomery Public Safety Director Chris Murphy in an NPR piece about the lessons of Rosa Parks, regarding an officer's plans for the visit of President Obama for the anniversary of the Selma to Montgomery march:
"One of the officers said, 'Well what we're planning on doing, once they finish the sweep, is having the bomb dogs and we're just gonna walk around the crowds.' And I said, Oh no, no, no. You cannot do that after Bull Conner. You cannot have that image. ... that's why history is so important."
