What were Rosa Parks's childhood goals?

Answer 1

Rosa Parks was born as Rosa Louise McCauley in Tuskegee, Alabama on February 4, 1913. She grew up on a farm with her maternal grandparents, mother, and younger brother Sylvester. She attended local schools until the age of eleven, then enrolled at the Industrial School for Girls in Montgomery where she took academic and vocational courses. Parks then went on to a laboratory school set up by the Alabama State Teachers College for Negroes for secondary education but was forced to drop out to care for her grandmother, and later for her mother, after they became ill.

In 1932, Rosa married Raymond Parks, a barber from Montgomery, who was a member of the NAACP. Rosa took numerous jobs, ranging from domestic worker to hospital aide. At her husband's urging, she finished her high school studies in 1933. In the 1940s, she held a brief job at Maxwell Air Force Base.

She also supported her husband's civil rights work and in 1943, Parks became active in the Civil Rights Movement, joined the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP, and was elected volunteer secretary to its president, Edgar Nixon. She continued as secretary until 1957.

At the time of her arrest in 1955, she was a seamstress at a department store. As a result of her arrest, she lost her job. The NAACP was organizing the bus boycott in response to her arrest and she went to work on that campaign.

In 1957, Raymond and Rosa Parks, unable to find work and frightened by threats against them, moved to Hampton Virginia where she found a job as hostess at an inn. Later that year, they moved to Detroit Michigan, where she worked as a seamstress until 1965. At that time, she was hired by African American US Representative John Conyer as a secretary/receptionist at his Detroit office, where she worked until she retired in 1988.

In 1980, she was a widow and alone and renewed her efforts in the civil rights movement, including fund raising, public speaking, founding the Rosa L. Parks Scholarship Foundation, to which she donated most of her speaking fees, and in 1987 co-founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute to introduce young people to important civil rights movement activities and history. 1992, Parks published Rosa Parks: My Story, an autobiography for younger readers which details her life leading up to her decision to refuse to give up her seat on the bus. In 1995, she published her memoirs, titled Quiet Strength. She spent the rest of her life working for the causes of civil rights.

Although she served the civil rights movement from her twenties until her death at ninety two, she earned her living at low paying or modest jobs that were available to black women of her time.
