Today, we honor the incredible legacy of Mother Rose (George Rose Peete West), a remarkable woman who touched countless lives. As the mother of former Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and the driving force of the Underground Bookstore in Oak Park, CA, she was a tireless advocate for literacy and education. Her passion for empowering others through knowledge and her dedication to community upliftment will never be forgotten.
After a courageous battle with cancer, she has left us, but her impact continues to resonate. We celebrate her life, her contributions, and the indelible mark she made on the world.
