Houston official compares himself to Rosa Parks for choosing to dine out during the pandemic (Via EaterHouston)
On Friday, Houston city council member Michael Kubosh started a viral frenzy on social media after he compared his decision to dine out at a restaurant during the COVID-19 crisis to acts of civil disobedience carried out by civil rights icon Rosa Parks.
Kubosh made the comment in an interview with Houston television station KPRC on April 24, the same day that Hedwig Village restaurant Federal American Grill reopened its doors in defiance of the county’s “stay at home, work safe” order. “Sometimes civil disobedience is required to move things forward, and so that’s why we remember Rosa Parks,” he said in the interview.
