Rosa & David traveled the world teaching and continuing their education in Africa, England, France, Spain, Sweden, Portugal and many locations in the United States. It can be said that the Banks' were jet setters when Blacks and Whites could not drink from the same fountain in southern America. 

They had no children of their own, but "lucky Them"  - during a mission tour in West Africa, they adopted a Liberian native and named him David after his adopted father  - today he is known as “Junior Banks”.
