Her and Raymond never had kids of their own, but loved Elaine Steel as one of their own. Rosa and Raymond also had 13 nieces and nephews through Rosa's brother and sister-in-law, Sylvester & Daisy McCauley.

she died of old age in 1989, she was diagnosed with cancer

Rosa Parks mother (Leona McCauley died sometime in the 1930's. She was alive for the 1930 census, but not for the 1940 census.

Rosa Rosa Parks worked as the NAACP chapter's youth adviser. When Rosa Rosa Parks joined the NAACP in 1943, she worked with the organization's state president, Edgar Daniel Nixon, to mobilize a voter registration drive in Montgomery. Rosa Parks was then elected secretary of the Montgomery branch.She also worked as a seamstress in Montgomery

Rosa Parks attended segregated schools in Montgomery. In 1929, while a junior in the eleventh grade, she left school to attend to her sick grandmother in Pine Level. She never returned, but instead got a job at a shirt factory in Montgomery. In 1932, Rosa married a barber named Raymond Parks who was an active member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). With Raymond's support, Rosa Parks finished her high school degree in 1933.

Rosa Parks and Claudette Colvin

are similar because they both wouldn't give their seats to a white passenger.

Malcolm X (birth name Malcolm Little) was assassinated at a rally in New York City on February 21, 1965.

Martin Luther King's real name was actually Michael. He was the son of a Black preacher known at the time only as "Daddy King." In 1935, "Daddy King" was inspired to name himself after the Protestant reformer Martin Luther. He announced to his congregation that in future they were to refer to him as "Martin Luther King" and to his son as "Martin Luther King, Jr." Michael Kingremained Martin Luther King's real name right up to the time he died, as the name change was never made legal.

He was an African American man born into a slavery, now best known for his role in bringing the harsh realities of slavery to the attention of white Americans, at the same time being a living example of the fallacy of claims that black Americans were intellectually inferior to whites.

Violent resistance was not a strategy of black civil rights leaders in the South from 1955 to 1965.

Al Sharpton is not only divisive, but many of his intentions are clearly stemmed from a deep distrust and even hate of anything anyone not black (this can also be described as racist). His tolerance for a black criminal like Michael Vick (found guilty) and his CONDEMNATION for the innocent Duke students show how unfair and racist he is. It's too bad that many blacks still choose to listen to this bitter old man along with his partner in "crime" Jesse Jackson. They should really listen to Bill Cosby. What he says has more depth and more "realness". We all know how black folks say they "keep it real". Really? Then listen to Bill, he was actually onto something "real".

A Google search of the keywords, "Daddy Activist" results in several stories about Donald Tenn, widely known in media and social circles as the daddy activist. Donald frequently dresses like spiderman in his work as an activist for the organization, fathers4justice. I have personally met Donald several times, he is an activist for children's rights.

The Significance of LEADERSHIP As rightly said by Faye Wattleton, "The only safe ship in a storm is Leadership." Leadership can refer to influencing a group of people to move towards its goals setting or goal achievement. It is influencing people by providing purpose, direction and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization. A good Leader leads but doesn't push. Different types of Leadership styles are Laissez Faire, Bureaucratic, Charismatic, Autocratic, Democratic, People Oriented, Task Oriented, A Servant Leader, Transactional Leader, Transformational Leader, Environment Leader and Situational Leader. However. Leaders are different from Managers. All managers are not leaders. Abraham Zaleznik in 1977 has mentioned the difference between a Leader and a Manager which are as follows:-

v Manager administers, Leader innovates;

v Manager ask how and when, Leader ask what and why;

v Manager focus on system, Leader focus on people;

v Manager do things right, Leader do the right things;

v Manager maintain, Leader develop;

v Manager rely on control, Leader inspire trust;

v Manager have short term perspective, Leader have long term perspective v Manager accept the status quo, Leader challenge the status quo;

v Manager have an eye on the bottom line, Leader have an eye on the horizon;

v Manager initiate, Leader originate;

v Manager emulate the classic good soldiers, Leader are their own person;

v Manager copy, Leader shows originality. Thus, Leadership differs in that it makes the followers want to achieve high goals, rather than simply bossing around people. "Inventories can be managed, but people must be led" - H. Ross Perot. Clear Vision, Consistency, Self-Sacrifice, Confidence, Persistence, Initiate, Innovation, Planning, Risk-Bearing, Time Management, Decision Making, Charisma, Timeliness, Passion, Enthusiasm, Technical Proficiency, Emotional Maturity, Flexibility, Rational Thinking, Motivation and Honesty are the suggested qualities in a Leader. Kenneth Blanchard once said that the key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority. A Leader need to understand him by analyzing his strengths/weaknesses, character, knowledge, skills and continuously seeks self-improvement for setting an example. WHEN THINGS GO WRONG HE TAKES RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ACTION. He knows his employees well, keeps them informed; develops a sense of responsibility among them; effectively communicates the task to them; motivates them; inspires a shared vision; ensures that the task is understood and accomplished by training/counseling them as a team thus enabling and encouraging others to act and ensuring fullest utilization of available resources. A leader sets realistic and attainable goal by developing a programme to achieve each goal and involving all his subordinates in the goal setting process, keeping in mind that he can't please everyone. James Shore believed that some of the most talented people are terrible leaders because they have a crippling need to be loved by everyone. Tony Blair also added by saying that the art of leadership is saying "no", not "yes", it is very easy to say "yes". Thus, the leader leads by example as he is a father figure. "The Leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I". And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I". They don't think "I". They think "We", they think "Team". They understand their job is to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. That is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done." - Peter Drucker.

Early on, Malcolm X's oratory combined calls for racial independence with criticisms of mainstream civil rights leaders who cooperated with whites.

You can't noone responds

King provided leadership for a movement towards equality that invited people (regardless of color) to come together to support a moral cause, civil rights. The fact that his was a "nonviolent" model, was very important especially because of the fact that segregation in the south was "the law".

His message inspired those of us living and growing up in the south to do something about our disenfranchisement, and people from all over the nation to help us.
