Biography:
Rosa Parks was a pivotal figure in the American Civil Rights Movement, often called the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement." Born in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1913, she experienced racial segregation firsthand from a young age.
Her act of defiance on December 1, 1955, on a Montgomery, Alabama bus sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger when the "white" section was full, violating local segregation laws. This act of civil disobedience led to her arrest.
The Montgomery Bus Boycott, a 381-day protest, significantly impacted the desegregation of public transportation in the United States. It brought Martin Luther King Jr. to national prominence and demonstrated the power of nonviolent resistance.
After the boycott, Parks continued her activism, working for Congressman John Conyers Jr. for many years. She received numerous awards, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal, for her contributions to the Civil Rights Movement. Rosa Parks passed away in 2005, leaving behind a legacy of courage and unwavering commitment to equality.
