What was Rosa Parks' education like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The education of Rosa Louise McCauley Parks [February 4, 1913-October 24, 2005] involved a combination of homeschooling, and of public school attendance. Parks was in poor health as a child. So she was homeschooled, on her maternal grandparents' farm outside Montgomery, until she was 11. For her mother, Leona Edwards McCauley, was a teacher. Then Parks took academic and vocational courses at the Industrial School for Girls in Montgomery, Alabama. She went on to attend a special laboratory school that the Alabama State Teachers College for Negroes had set up, for secondary education. But she didn't finish the coursework, due to the failing healths of her grandmother and then of her mother. In 1932, Parks married Montgomery barber Raymond Parks. Her husband encouraged her to go back to school. So she received her high school diploma, in the following year.

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

She wouldn't give up her seat to a white person and she was black and started a boycott to change the law!! Everyone quit ridding the bus and they were going out of business and they changed the law so black or white they could sit and give up their seat if they wanted to but not because the law said if you were black and there were no other seats for the white person you had to stand!!

Did African leaders help with slavery?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

ANYONE have an answer to this question... because I NEED the answer NOW. First know that not all African leaders had anything to do with white people and may not have known that whites even existed,only the ethnic groups at or very near the coast would have been in a position to meet and know white people who were traders. That said,they were largely puppets for whites,the whites converted them to christianity and would marry in to their kingdoms. They accepted the whites' offers to trade because they wanted the guns,especially.But this became worse when whites also traded with nearby ethnic groups who were enemies.Can you imagine if somebody came and gave your enemy country superior weaponry?That would cause paranoia.So even though the whites did not force them to trade,the gun cycle would compel them to.There were some groups that initially turned the whites down only to accept the whites when they needed guns because the whites went to nearby enemies who started attacking with guns.That's called the gun/slave cycle.

How do astronauts spend their time in their spaceship?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since many astronauts are scientists, or are under the direction of scientists, most of the time spent in space is devoted to experiments and keeping the ship clean and in good repair. With their vitals being monitored constantly, one could say that every moment an astronaut is in space is somebody's experiment. Astronauts also spend a good portion of the day sleeping, as we do.
