Tuesday was the 60th anniversary of 42-year-old seamstressĀ Rosa ParksĀ refusing to move to the back of a bus to allow a white man to have her seat.
Democratic presidential candidates, whose fortunes live and die with the black vote, were quick to mark theĀ occasion. But did front-runner Hillary Clinton blow it in her effort?

Not taking any chances of falling short of the expectations of today’s unforgiving social justice warriors, Clinton posted several tweets commemorating the day AND changed her Twitter profile picture — but did the campaign commit a major faux pas?

Perception is reality, and as Twitter user Doug Henwood astutely noted, Parks appears as if she had been relegated to the back seat on Team Hillary’s bus.
And Henwood was not the only one to take notice:

I get the pandering from Team Clinton, but shouldnāt Rosa Parks be sitting up front? pic.twitter.com/DLsZ756g2x

Based on the reaction, social media users expected Hillary to screw it up. Then again, as one user said: “What difference at this point does it make!?”
@DougHenwood @HillaryClinton @goodnewsgoddess why are black folks voting for this woman ???

@BecketAdams Wasn’t it the Democratic Party that instituted Jim Crowe laws in the first place? Strange.
