Rosa Parks

Well she became apart of a Civil Rights movement for Black people in the US, and she effected racism in a huge way. It all began on a bus where Rosa Parks got on the bus and wanted to get to work. She was relaxed, and set in the front seat close to the bus driver. When a white man came in, and asked Rosa Parks to move, she didn't. She simply said, without hesitation, "No."

The man was furious, he told the bus driver, and then he came and threatened her to get off the seat. She said, once again, "No."

That was the beginning of her journey to make a great change in the world. But however, Racism is still a huge worldwide problem till this very day.

Thats all I know, Well I do know more.

Sitting Down On Thursday evening December 1, 1955, after a long day of work as a seamstress for a Montgomery, Alabama, department store, Rosa Parks boards a city bus to go home. Tired as she is, Mrs. Parks walks past the first few - mostly empty - rows of seats marked "Whites Only." It's against the law for an African American like her to sit in these seats. She finally settles for a spot in the middle of the bus. Black people are allowed to sit in this section as long as no white person is standing. Though Rosa Parks hates the segregation laws, and has been fighting for civil rights at the NAACP for more than 10 years, until today she has never been one to break rules. The bus continues along its route. After several more stops the bus is full. The driver notices that all the seats in the "Whites Only" section are now taken, and that more white people have just climbed aboard. He orders the people in Mrs. Parks's row to move to the back of the bus, where there are no open seats. No one budges at first. But when the driver barks at the black passengers a second time, they all get up. . . except for Rosa Parks. Arrested Rosa Parks has finally had enough of being treated as a second-class citizen. As an African American, she has put up with terrible treatment on city buses, as well as in stores, restaurants, movie theaters, and other places for years. She is tired of it. In fact, she remembers that twelve years earlier this very same bus driver made her get off the bus and enter through the rear door. When the driver continues shouting at her to move, Rosa Parks decides that she is not going to take it anymore. She simply says no, and refuses to get up from her seat. The angry bus driver puts on the emergency brake, gets out of his seat and marches over to Mrs. Parks. He demands that she move to the back of the bus. When she doesn't, he leaves the bus and returns with a policeman. Mrs. Parks is promptly arrested for violating segregation laws. Upon hearing of Rosa Parks's arrest, Mr. E.D. Nixon, a friend and longtime civil rights leader, posts her bail. Nixon believes that the Montgomery African-American community must respond. Although Rosa Parks is not the first African American to be treated unfairly, he is determined to try and make her the last. Boycott Knowing that the city bus system depends heavily on the African-American community, the black leaders agree to call a boycott of all city buses on Monday, December 5. A new and popular minister in Montgomery by the name of Martin Luther King, Jr. is chosen to lead the boycott. By Friday evening the news of the upcoming boycott has spread throughout the city. On Monday morning, December 5, King and the other leaders wait nervously at a bus stop to see whether their plan will work. To their relief and surprise, bus after bus rolls by with no African Americans aboard. United in protest, boycotters choose instead to walk, take carpools, pedal bicycles, and even ride mules to get to work instead of board the buses. That same day Rosa Parks goes to court with her lawyer. The judge finds her guilty of breaking a city segregation law and fines her $14. Declaring that the law is unjust, Rosa Parks's lawyer says he will appealthe case to the U.S. Supreme Court. Supreme Court Ruling The bombing not only fails to stop the protesters, but it unites them and makes them stronger. Finally, almost one year after Rosa Parks's refusal to give up her seat, the Supreme Court rules - on November 13, 1956 - that Montgomery's segregation laws are unconstitutional. Although the boycott wouldn't have been successful without the unified effort of Montgomery's 17,000 African Americans, no one will forget Rosa Parks, the brave woman who led the way. The very next day, Rosa Parks, along with E.D. Nixon and Martin Luther King, Jr., board a city bus. Proudly, Rosa Parks takes a seat right up front. Interview with Rosa Parks Rosa Parks, the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement," visited the Scholastic Web site from January to February 1997. During this monthlong project, students learned how Mrs. Parks sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott by not giving up her bus seat to a white passenger. One year later, as a result of her brave act, the Supreme Court ruled segregation on buses was illegal.

She would be 117 that is the truth I added then subtracted to check

Rosa Parks wasn't kicked off a bus in 1943; that was the year she began working as a volunteer for the NAACP. She was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat for a white man on December 1, 1955.

Yes because if t wasn't for her, some African-American people woudn't have respect.

she helped other epeople have a better life because she didnt because of the civil rights and what they did to her life ,so she wanted to change othere peoples lives before it was to late

Same subjects all children study, but she would have gone to a Black only school.

Rosa Parks' contribution to history came 90 years after slavery was abolished in the US by the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. It was in 1955 that Rosa refused to give her seat on the bus to a white person. Her simple act inspired the Montgomery bus boycott that led to the repeal of bus segregation and brought national attention to the denial of civil rights to black Americans. Her act was the beginning of eliminating all of the restrictions and segregation laws for black Americans on public transportation, in housing, in education, in hiring practices, in accommodation in eating establishments and hotels, and access to the polls for voting.

Rosa Parks, famous from the Montgomery Bus Boycott where she refused to move to the back of the bus in civil disobedience in Montgomery, Alabama during the Civil Rights Movement, was born in 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama and died in 2005 at the age of 92 in Detroit, Michigan. After many honors and ceremonies after her death, including lying in honor at in the U.S. Capitol, she was ultimately laid to rest in Detroit's Woodlawn Cemetery where she lies today.

Rosa Parks was 92 years old when she died. She was born on February 4, 1913 and dies on October 24, 2005 at the age of 92. She would b 99 this october

Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, city bus on December 1, 1955. She was jailed overnight and released on $100 bond on December 2, 1955.

Are you people really that stupid not to know this she lead the boycott to let black people sit where ever they wanted to on the bus of montgomery. if u didnt know that you are some really retarded people!

to give the audience time to connect with the meaning of her words

-apex

Because she was black, she was looked upon as inferior, as was all her race. But just because her skin was a different colour, it didn't mean that she was lesser than white people and so for that reason, she did not give up her seat.

Rosa Parks wore floral dresses. Some of them had collared necks on them. She also wore big glasses. When she was younger she wore smaller glasses. Also, she had her hair up in a bun. We really don't know what shoes she wore. That is what I would say. Is that really what she wore. Because i don't really know, but thanks for a little bit of help!!! She wore make up. lipstick and that!!!!!!!!!! You know what i mean don't you reader

but did she wear a pearl necklace...because some of us people need to know that for an English assignment...sheesh. thanks for not knowing that

her roll model is your dad cause i gave her head

No, Rosa Parks was not a part of the Underground Railroad. By the time Parks was born in 1913, slavery had long been abolished so there was no need for the Underground Railroad. You may have Parks confused with Harriet Tubman, who was an integral part of the Underground Railroad.

Yes, as a child she suffed from chronic tonsillitis which made her have to stay in made for days on end. heres where i read it.
