Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks was motivated by her thought that all races were equal. She thought everybody is the same regardless of the color of their skin color. When she forced to give up her seat to a white man, she refused. "I didn't get up. I was tired of giving in to the white people" (3). She stood up for what she thought was right. She was tired of being humiliated and treated poorly because of the color of her skin. Rosa Parks didn't only stick up for her rights and beliefs, but for the people, as well. This proves that she was not going to be treated poorly anymore. The consequence of her courageousness changed her life and the life of others forever. Rosa Parks sparked a flame in blacks causing the Montgomery , Alabama bus boycott. All blacks refused to ride the buses unless segregation was put to an end and they could sit wherever they pleased. They rode in cars and walked to work for more than a year. Finally on November 13,1956, the United States Supreme Court ruled Segregation unlawful and that buses could no longer separate blacks from whites. The boycott was over. Rosa Parks didn't stop until all blacks were treated fairly.
