Roses in honor of Rosa Parks make a great gift because it allows you to give someone something beautiful, support a beautiful cause, and honor the legacy of a beautiful woman. Organic Style, an eco-friendly, socially responsible, Fair Trade on-line boutique, is selling the Freedom: Rosa Parks Rose bouquet, and donating a portion of its proceeds to the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, which Rosa co-founded. The Institute’s youth leadership “Pathways to Freedom” program teaches students the stories and values of the civil rights movement, and encourages them to engage in social justice and, in turn, encourage social justice in their own communities, as they do in the video above made entirely by students in the Pathways Program.

Because these flowers are organic and eco friendly, you won’t be exposing the lucky recipient to any toxins or pesticides. And because Organic Style’s flowers are fair trade and made under fair labor practices, you will be supporting the environment, workers, farmers and their communities. Because buying something made through exploitation and oppression is the last thing this “mother of the civil rights movement,” who fought so hard for freedom, social justice, and children’s rights, would want you to do. So ! celebrate Black History Month, Rosa Parks, the earth, youth, civil rights and human rights by buying the Rose Bouquet in Honor of Rosa.
