Rosa Parks was a thinker, caring, and a communicator
the BIBLE
To show equality with the whites and blacks. Everyone to be equal.
by having a lot of kids and caring for them and then throwing them in the trash
It is quite likely she was afraid. She was also tremendously courageous. I believe the vast majority, then or now, that could show such courage. I include myself in that majority.
Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks believed that black and whites can be equal. Rosa Parks got arrested for not giving up her seat so a white man can sit down because she was tired. Martin Luther King give his"I have a dream" speech.
Pictures of her mug shot seem to show that she was wearing either a dress or a suit.
By showing quiet nonviolent strength -being firm but kind
she played because she wanted to show people black women can do anything white men can do
Rosa Park showed courage by not giving up her sit for a white person plus fighting for her belief
She showed unselfishness by not only standing up for herself, but everyone around her. She stood up for what was right and that is unselfisheness
