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.
"America, you lost this house... you gotta get it back. And it's going to cost you."
