| Rosa Parks - Mother of the Civil Rights Movement |
| |
|
The bus driver said, "Move to the back and stand." Rosa Parks said "no." She was scared when she refused to follow his order, but she had the COURAGE to do what she knew had to be done. African-Americans had very few civil rights in the U.S. until brave people like Rosa started taking action against unfair laws. Their courageous deeds to fight discrimination made our country a better place for everyone.
Quotes:
"I did not get on the bus to get arrested, I got on the bus to go home."
"The only tired I was, was tired of giving in. (on refusing to give up her seat on the bus to a white male)"
"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."
"I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day, but I don't think there is anything such as complete happiness."

| Fun Facts |
 |
- On the afternoon of Rosa Parks' court trial, the Montgomery Improvement Association was formed. So as not to ruffle any local activists' feathers, the members elected as their president a relative newcomer to Montgomery, the young minister of Dexter Avenue Baptist Church: the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
