Rosa Parks would become known for her action of refusing to relinquish her seat on the bus to a white man on December 1, 1955 and starting a boycott that would bring even more attention to the civil rights movement. The boycott would last 381 days, approximately one year, and forced the Supreme Court to outlaw segregation. But before her actions on the buss, she had already began to fight segregation. She protested segregation through daily actions, such as refusing to use segregated facilities. In 1943, she joined the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP. When, in 1955, she attended a workshop to promote interracial living, she decided to attempt to fight segregation even more publicly. Rosa Parks would go on to become one of several icons of the Civil Rights Movement. It would cause her many hardships, and as she grew older, she grew increasingly removed from the movement.
Really good and thorough information. It seems that Rosa Parks was one of the reasons why the fight for equality was possible. Great job showing how she faced many obstacles to help the African American community.
