Rosa Parks
Lyrics and music by M.J.O’Connor
Rosa Louise Parks (nata Rosa Louise McCauley; Tuskegee, 4 febbraio 1913 – Detroit, 24 ottobre 2005) è stata un'attivista statunitense figura-simbolo del movimento per i diritti civili, famosa per aver rifiutato nel 1955 di cedere il posto su un autobus ad un bianco, dando così origine al boicottaggio degli autobus a Montgomery.

Il disastro di Bhopal è avvenuto il 3 dicembre 1984 nella città indiana di Bhopal a causa della fuoriuscita di 40 tonnellate di isocianato di metile (MIC), dallo stabilimento della Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL), consociata della multinazionale statunitense Union Carbide specializzata nella produzione di fitofarmaci.
La nube formatasi in seguito al rilascio di isocianato di metile, iniziato poco dopo la mezzanotte del 3 dicembre 1984, uccise in poco tempo 2.259 persone e avvelenò decine di migliaia di altre. Il governo del Madhya Pradesh ha confermato un totale di 3.787 morti direttamente correlate all'evento, ma stime di agenzie governative arrivano a 15.000 vittime.
