Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was born on the 4th Febuary 1913. She is famous for standing up to the bus driver, because back in the 1950's Black people where not allowed to go on the front of the bus. And black people had to go to the back of the bus, and if there weren't any spaces at the back they had to stand . And if there was no spaces anywhere and a black person was sitting, they would have to give up their seat for a white person. It was pretty hard for black people. But one day Rosa Parks was sick of it , she said to the white person "No I am not giving up my seat I am sick of it" and the bus driver gave her one more chance and she refused. So they called the police. She got sent to jail but she shouldn't of. She was very upset and thought it was very unfair. Rosa Parks died on the 24th of October 2005. She was almost going to stay in jail until she died but she didn't, luckily.
