Rosa
Parks:
A
Symbol
of
Civil
Rights Rosa
Parks,
known
as
the
"Rose
of
Civil
Rights,"
was
a
brave
and
determined
figure
in
the
movement
for
equal
rights.
On
December
1,
1955,
Parks
refused
to
give
up
her
seat
on
a
Montgomery,
Alabama
bus
to
a
white
passenger,
sparking
the
Montgomery
Bus
Boycott.
Her
peaceful
act
of
resistance
inspired
millions
across
the
country
and
paved
the
way
for
further
progress
in
the
civil
rights
movement. Parks
was
born
on
February
4,
1913,
in
Tuskegee,
Alabama.
She
grew
up
in
a
time
of
segregation
and
discrimination,
experiencing
firsthand
the
injustices
of
the
Jim
Crow
South.
Despite
this,
Parks
became
an
advocate
for
change,
a
role
model
for
those
who
wanted
to
make
a
difference. After
her
arrest
for
refusing
to
give
up
her
seat
on
the
bus,
Parks
became
the
face
of
the
Montgomery
Bus
Boycott.
The
boycott
lasted
for

a
year
until
the
Supreme
Court
declared
segregation
on
buses
unconstitutional.
This
victory
was
a
turning
point
in
the
civil
rights
movement,
and
Parks
remained
a
central
figure
in
the
fight
for
equal
rights. Parks
dedicated
her
life
to
activism,
working
for
the
NAACP
and
campaigning
for
voter
registration
in
the
1960s.
She
continued
to
inspire
generations
with
her
courage
and
determination,
receiving
numerous
awards
and
honors,
including
the
Presidential
Medal
of
Freedom
in
1996. Although
Parks
passed
away
in
2005,
her
legacy
lives
on
as
a
symbol
of
civil
rights.
Her
name
has
become
synonymous
with
courage,
determination,
and
the
struggle
for
equality.
Parks
once
said,
"I
have
learned
over
the
years
that
when
one's
mind
is
made
up,
this
diminishes
fear;
knowing
what
must
be
done
does
away
with
fear."
She
embodied
this
sentiment
in
everything
she
did,
and
her
impact
on
history
will
never
be
forgotten.
