About this ebook
In the following chapters, we'll dive into Rosa's life story, step by step, allowing her experiences and contributions to unfold naturally. Let's begin this journey together.
Rosa Parks was an American civil rights activist whose refusal to give up her seat on a public bus precipitated the 1955–56 Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama, which became the spark that ignited the civil rights movement in the United States.
Parks was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1913. She was raised by her mother and grandmother, who instilled in her a strong sense of self-respect and determination. Parks attended Alabama State College, where she studied education and became involved in the civil rights movement.
In December 1955, Parks was riding a bus home from work when the bus driver ordered her to give up her seat to a white man. Parks refused, and she was arrested and fined. Her arrest sparked a boycott of the Montgomery bus system by black citizens, which lasted for over a year. The boycott ended when the Supreme Court ruled that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional.
Parks's act of defiance was a powerful symbol of the struggle for civil rights. She inspired millions of people around the world to stand up for their rights. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1999 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1990. She died in 2005 at the age of 92.
Parks's legacy is one of courage, determination, and self-sacrifice. She is an inspiration to all who believe in the power of nonviolent protest to achieve social change.
