1994 Mugging Incident
In 1994, Rosa Parks was attacked and mugged in her Detroit home by Joseph Skipper. She had a total of $53 stolen from her. The incident created outrage throughout America after Parks admitted she had asked Skipper "Do you know who I am?". Before beating her, Skipper (an African American, himself) was reported to have stated he did know who Rosa Parks was but didn't care.
