Rosa Parks(1913—2005)
On December 1,1955,in Montgomery,Alabama,Rasa Parks would not give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger.Her simple act landed Parks in prison.But it also set off the Montgomery bus boycott.It lasted for more than a year,and kicked off the civilrights movement.“The only tired I was,was tired of giving in,”said Parks.
