Cynthia joined the street choir Raised Voices in 1994. The political choir Raised Voices was another important part of Cynthia’s local political engagement. As well as singing in the choir, she wrote the lyrics to several of the songs that have made up its repertoire.

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.
