American artist Ryan Mendoza is moving Rosa Parks's house from Detroit to Berlin to save it from demolition — Quartz
American civil-rights icon Rosa Parks moved from Alabama to Detroit in 1957. Her first home in the city, on South Deacon Street, was demolished last week.
Well, not all of it. American artist Ryan Mendoza stepped in to preserve the façade of the house, shipping it to Germany in two 40-foot containers, at his own expense, in order to turn it into a piece of art.
