She worked at a department store until she was fired for being a political activist. She later found a job as a hostess in an inn at Hampton Institute. That was a historically black college

. Then when she moved, she was a seamstress until 1965. Then US Representative John Conyers hired her as a secretary and receptionist at his office. While she was given money as a public speaker, most of that money went to civil rights causes, and in her age, she lived off of her husband's pension and her staff salary.

What did Rosa parks suffer from when she was small?

She suffered of racial segregation as all the black American people. Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955, when a white passenger entered an already full bus, the bus driver asked Rosa Parks and three other African-Americans sitting in her row, to stand up. The others stood up; Rosa Parks remained seated. Rosa Parks was arrested because of that action. After that Rosa became famous. That action of Rosa Park became an example to all black Americans in a time when they were looking for equal rights. A bus boycott began and it worked. The blow was lethal. Since the rest of the civil rights movement stemmed from what became known as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Rosa Parks is known as the Mother of the Civil Rights Movement.
