A real life Antigone

An historical example of one women who stood up for her rights is Rosa
Louise Parks. She has been called the "Mother of the Modern-Day Civil
Rights Movement." In 1955, Rosa refused to give up her seat to a white
passenger on a city bus. Her action started a protest that was felt
throughout the United States. Her quiet, courageous act which went
against the law changed America and redirected the course of history.
Antigone is an ancient Greek play but the themes that Sophocles raises
are highly relevant to our society today. Antigone stood up for her rights to
bury her Brother Polyneives and went against Creons law.
