My essay on Rosa Parks

When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man 48 years on December 1, 1995. She was tired, and weary from a long day's work. This story has been recorded countless time's. Today we will talk about Rosa Park's. Let's move to her info.

She didn't want to give up her seat because she was tiered of the racism to her people, and her self. Her arrest was a 381-day at the Montgomery bus boycott. She run in to a bus stop after the time she got out. Bus driver's did not let her come in to the buses, she was humiliated.

She spends her time in Detroit, and winters are in Los Angela's. She gets letter's from children, politician's, and regular people. Rosa Parks is a role model to the young children. She also wants people to donate to her.

Rosa Parks was born in Tuskegee, Alabama on February 4Th, 1913 to James McCauley and Leona Edwards. One was a carpenter, and the other is a teacher. Rosa is African American, Cherokee Indian, and Irish. Rosa great grandfather is a Irish man.

Rosa was a small child, and had poor tinsel's. Her parents separated, and she moved with her mother to Pine Level. She grew up on a farm in Pine level. She has a brother named Sylvester. She was home schooled by her mother until she was 11. Parks went to a all girls school. She went to a laboratory school for people who want to be teachers, and its a college.
