Good morning today, I would like to talk to you about one of the most

influential figures in the civil rights movement of the United States: Rosa Parks.

Why this was a major event in the history of the United States?

In this presentation, I will discuss her early life, her courageous act, and the
lasting impact she had on the civil right movement.

Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913, Alabama. Growing up in a

segregated society, she experienced firsthand the injustice and discrimination
faced by African Americans. In 1955, at the age of 42, Rosa Parks made history
when she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus
in Montgomery. Her act of defiance was not impulsive but a result of years of
frustration and a desire for change.

Rosa Parks' act of resistance and the subsequent Montgomery Bus Boycott had
a profound impact on the civil rights movement. Her bravery inspired countless
others to take a stand against racial injustice. The boycott itself was a turning
point, marking the emergence of Martin Luther King Jr. as a leader and the
beginning of a new phase in the struggle for civil rights. Parks became an icon
of the movement, and her actions drew attention to the broader issues of racial
segregation and discrimination in the United States. In the years following the
boycott, Rosa Parks continued her activism, working with civil rights
organizations and fighting for equality and justice. She received numerous
honors.

In conclusion, Rosa Parks' story is a significant event in the history of the

United States. Her refusal to give up her seat on a bus played a crucial role in
the civil rights movement, bringing national attention to racial injustices and
segregation in the country. Rosa Parks will forever be remembered as a symbol
of strength and resilience in the face of injustice. Thank you.
