A group of Black girls is melting hearts on the internet as the nation celebrated the birthday of iconic civil rights hero Rosa Parks during Black History Month. Dressed like the pioneer, the girls performed a birthday song, which was published by Because of Them We Can. 

Social media users showed love with affectionate emojis. 

"Those little girls are so cute!!!" an Instagram user wrote, adding in a couple of hearts. 

Because of Them We Can also published iconic images of the late human rights champion who was born 108 years ago. The pictures included photos of Parks from her younger days, as well as an image of the humanitarian's meeting with Nelson Mandela and a portrait of her later years.

In addition to capturing her efforts in activism, the photos showed Parks in the simple moments, such as the times when she would get her hair styled. 

The celebration continued through many other platforms as people reflected on the legacy of the woman who is most remembered for refusing to sit in the "colored section" of the bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

"Commemorating the 108th birthday of a vessel whose leadership and sacrifice influenced the world for good. Happy birthday, Rosa Parks. Thank you for not giving in,'" activist Bernice King wrote.

The Martin Luther King Jr. Center also took time to pay respect.

Attorney Ben Crump wrote that the Alabama native proved the power of speaking truth.

"Happy Birthday to legendary Rosa Parks. She showed us that ANYONE can speak truth to power with silent resistance. Sometimes those who say nothing speak the loudest! Her strength of sacrifice will forever drive us forward in our fight against injustice! #BlackHistoryMonth," Crump wrote.

Historian Michael Beschloss shared a note from the civil rights champion, in which she said "I had been pushed around all my life and. . .couldn’t take it anymore." 

According to WDIO, busses across the country reserved seats on Thursday to honor the woman who inspired the Civil Rights Movement with her defiance on Dec. 1, 1955.

“It was because of her legacy that we can ride the bus and sit in any seat we want to,” Henry Banks, a community leader in Duluth, Minnesota, said.

Banks and other residents rode the busses on Thursday to honor the human rights champion.

“It’s obviously a right that we all should have had, but it’s nice to be able to know that I can do that and be comfortable riding the bus thanks to Rosa Parks of course,” said one of the residents, John Staine.
