She had to deal with racism and segregation as in the bus incident that made her famous. When she became an activist, she lost her job and had great difficulty finding another. She also had to deal with illness: tensions resulted in chronic stomach ulcers, and both her husband, her mother and her brother were diagnosed with cancer. All of her life she had to deal with financial problems despite her fame; she died almost pennyless.
