Best Answer

Rosa Parks didn't go to college. She never had the chance. In 1934 when she graduated high school women and blacks were not allowed to enroll into southern colleges. It wasn't until 1954 that school desegregation began and until the 1960's with the Civil Rights Movement that the first black man was enrolled in a Alabama college. As late as 1970 only 1 student in 50 was black and enrolled in a non black college. So, Rosa Parks never had the chance to attend college and she became a housekeeper.

Rosa Parks was unable to attend college because black women were not allowed into colleges. The fact that she was a woman and black kept her out.
