Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was a proud black woman from birth. Her earlier years were fairly decent, due to the kind white people around the area. She first became aware to the racism when the KKK marched down her street to make a point to all the black people in the neighborhood. As she became more active for the cause against the racism in America, she joined the NAACP, a strong activist group fighting the racism everywhere. She was outrage by incident with the 15-year-old black girl refusing to leave the bus. This encouraged her to act upon the anger the black people were holding in due to this incident. Her first response was the same action, just with more at stake. When she refused to get off the white section of the bus. When she did that she was able to start the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This devastated the Bus Transportation System.
