She had a decent childhood, despite segregation. She was raised by her mom, Leona Edwards McCauley,

and maternal grandparents, Sylvester & Rose Edwards. Her dad, Jim McCauley,

left for good when Rosa was 5 and Sylvester was 3. She never saw him again until she and Raymond were married. She moved to Pine Level, Alabama with her grandparents, and worked on a cotton field with her brother. They worked everyday in the fall for a white farmer, sunrise to sunset. slavery had been outlawed but Rosa's childhood was not far from it. She went to church, and was a very religious person.
