Rosa Parks

Simply by just making the choice of not giving up her seat to a white man. See back then all the blacks were suppose to sit on the back of the bus, and if there weren't any more seats on the bus when a white person got on, then a black person have to give up their seat. She was tired mentally not physically of being bossed around. Just for her doing that it changed history with the help of the boycott. Now any black person can sit anywhere on the bus, and no one has to give up their seat for anyone.

No Rosa Parks did not get married after her husband died because she thought it was too painful to get married to another person after her husband just died.

Rosa Parks was fined $10 and ordered to pay $4 in court costs. Although she spent one night in jail before Edgar D Nixon paid her $100 bond, this was not part of her sentence.

No. Rosa Parks had no kids. Her only surviving close relative was her sister in law.

No, Rosa Parks was not born into slavery. She was born in 1913, 50 years after the end of legalized slavery in the United States. Both of her parents were born after the end of slavery. All four of her grandparents, however, were born into slavery, although they were all small children when slavery ended.

The struggle against segregation gave people strength and hope due to the arrest of Rosa Parks. This happened when people saw that an elderly woman was willing to stand up for the rights of not only her, but everyone.

1913 was the year she was born her b-day was Feb 4

Obviously she was just a reular person like me and you, but it may be possible that she was planning all of this and that she said one day, I am going to make a difference today. Nobody really knows besides her. Also you can type in your google search engine ' Rosa Parks, Why is she famous?' and that can give you some background information about her childhood. Try that, hopefully it helps!

She was arrested. As a result, the black populace of Montgomery AL boycotted the public bus system until such time that blacks could ride in any seat on the bus. On the verge of collapse, the managers of the bus system convinced the Montgomery City Council to acquiesce, which it did. The boycott lasted a year.

the BIBLE

Rosa Parks didn't go to college. She never had the chance. In 1934 when she graduated high school women and blacks were not allowed to enroll into southern colleges. It wasn't until 1954 that school desegregation began and until the 1960's with the civil rights movement that the first black man was enrolled in a Alabama college. As late as 1970 only 1 student in 50 was black and enrolled in a non black college. So, Rosa Parks never had the chance to attend college and she became a housekeeper.

Both are icons of the American Civil Rights Movement. Parks was embraced by the movement for her role in the Montgomery bus boycott. Meredith was initially embraced by the movement for his role in desegregating the University of Mississippi, and his March Against Fear. Later, the movement came to regret embracing Meredith when his conservative political views disagreed with their own.

Parks is still honored by the survivors of the movement in a way that Meredith simply hasn't been.

Rosa parks did not die in jail because the same day she refused to go to the back of the bus that evening she got out.

She didn't set out to become famous but to right wrongs, Discrimination was openly practiced and the law.

A little old lady, Rosa Parks, basically started the Civil Rights Movement. She just refused to sit at the back of a city bus. After her simple act of defiance became widely known, African Americans began refusing to obey Whites Only signs, demanded an end to segregated schools and neighbourhoods.

Yes or she could not have stood up to the oppresive power of the bigotry of the deep South. She also faced her challenge with the fear that her life was in jeoprady. Why she made this challenge to the establishmen remains uncertain but it was an act of courage and commitment.
