Col. Eries Mentzer, 42nd Air Base Wing commander, is joined by Secretary of the Air Force Barbara Barrett and other distinguished visitors Dec. 1, 2020, for the unveiling of a Rosa Parks memorial sculpture. Many people may know of the work Rosa Parks did during the civil rights movement, but less may know she worked on Maxwell Air Force Base in the 1940s.
