The first lady of the civil rights movement

Rosa Louise McCailey


Rosa Parks  (february the 4th 1913. - Oktober the 24th 2005) was an American woman who worked as a dressmaker in the United States. She was very important figure in the civil rights movements in the United States of America, which was a movement that started the year 1955 to 1968 where the Afro-American wanted to end with the racial segregation and discrimination.

Rosa Parks became an icon. She was the sparkle of the movement due to all the things that she made and specially for not giving the sit of a bus to a white American ignstead of going to the back of the bus.She went to prison but this action that Rosa Sparks did, gave Afro-American hope and strength to fight for their civil rights. 

Many people said that this action was never maid and that she didn´t gave the sit of the bus to the white man because she was a phisically tired woman only. People also said that it was a mith, nevertheless, in the book  she wrote:" My life", she mentions that she didn't gave the sit of the bus to a man not because she was phisically tired, but tired of giving in.

  2. Without a doubt, Rosa Parks played a leading part in the triggering event that marked a before and after in the fight that was occurring in the United States against racial segregation. They were difficult times for black people, and perhaps that would have happened if had not appeared revolutionary characters as the same Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Malcon X and many others.
    For any reason we should not repeat in history episodes like this one, I mean all sorts of discrimination, for example religion, race, sex, economic status, etc. This search for a society in harmony, that everybody learn to live as brothers, must be transformed in a daily struggle. No one is superior to the other, perhaps we are different in some areas, but that should not lay emphasize to the discrimination, due to that all of us have the same rights.
