If Rosa Parks hadn't refused to give up her seat on the bus then the whole civil rights movement would have never happened and the American South would still be a nest of racial hatred. Likewise, if someone like Michael Newdow hadn't pointed out that the words "under god" were unfair to atheists then we would still be an ignored group of people constantly battered by theists. Just shows you how history does and will repeat itself. Rest in peace, Rosa, glad you could make a difference in the world.
