Rosa Parks-The power of a NO
Samuele Catalano 3B
LIFE
My Motivation I chose Rosa Parks because she represents the power of an individual to change the course of history. Her quiet but firm 'no' shows that you don’t need to be loud to be brave. I believe her ideas are still important today because they teach us that standing up for what is right is a duty for everyone, regardless of the consequences
Why she made a difference: Her arrest started the Montgomery Bus Boycott, led by Martin Luther King Jr., which lasted 381 days and changed the law
Curiosities : The original bus (No. 2857) is now on display at The Henry Ford Museum in Michigan. It was purchased by the museum in 2001 and meticulously restored. Today, visitors can step on board and sit in the same space where Rosa Parks changed history, making the experience a powerful physical symbol of the Civil Rights Movement.
Historical Context: In the 1950s, Alabama had "Jim Crow laws." Black people had to sit in the back of the bus and give their seats to white passengers.
