Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks started her lifelong goal by attending meetings in respects to NAACP which helped her to gain the confidence to speak up and take a stand. Rosa parks is known as the woman who would not move to the back of the bus. That set a bus boycott which lasted over a year and gave her the title of “mother of the civil rights movement.” Rosa spent over a decade with a local national association for the advancement of colored people.

After reading this article about Rosa Parks, I now have a much clearer picture of who she is and what she has done. Rosa Parks is a huge part of the black community and has been looked up to as one of the most respected women movement leaders of all time. She took charge, inspired people of all ages, and made a huge change which is still in the changing today. Rosa Parks who passed away on October 24^th 2005 will be missed but will still motivate people of all cultures and races worldwide.   

            I think beside Dr. Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks was a huge part of the black community and brought it to where it is at today. She gave strength, inspiration, and helped bring the black community to where it is at today. She was a great woman who helped many in need and gave hope to people who had none.
