Rochelle Riley notes in her column that Ben Burns, director of Wayne State University's journalism program, led the educators who created the Rosa Parks Scholarship Foundation which has offered $1.5 million to more than 750 students in 24 years. Kim Trent, now a 35-year-old regional manager in Senator Debbie Stabenow's office, benefited from the scholarship program through her attendance at Wayne State's Journalism Institute for Minorities.
