Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks passed away on Monday, October 24, 2005.Ms. Parks became famous for starting the bus boycott after she refused to sit in the back of a public bus. Most people think that she did this because she was tired and that was a reason but it was mot the real reason. the real reason why she didn't give up her seat was because she didn't want to "be mistreated or be deprived" of the seat she had paid for. Before she did this act of bravery, she was a seamsrtess at a local department store and after this incident, she became part of a major civil rights movement known as the bus boycott. Ms. Parks was the inspiration of the many movements Martin Luther King started and many other historical civil rights leaders. Without her, my school would probably be segregated and extremely poor without her; I probably wouldn't be writing this right now.
