ROSA PARKS (MOTHER OF CIVIL RIGHTS)

Civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks is remembered as a courageous woman whose defiance in the face of segregation helped inspire the architects of the civil rights movement and set an example for generations to follow.

She saw the inherent evil in segregation and she had the courage to fight it in its common place, a seat on a bus.

Rosa Parks, a former seamstress, became the first woman to lie in honor in the Capital Rotunda, sharing the tribute bestowed upon Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy and other national leaders.

This informative program chronicles the life of Rosa Parks.

She broke the law? People, you are so pathetic. And I bet everyone who says she broke the law is caucasian right? You weren't there to judge her for what she did. She thought for something she believed in. While in today's world, people fight for nothing. They fight for themselves. She thought for not just her, but for her nation. For the African-American nation, during the time, where white folks would "push them around" all the time.

Who cares if she broke the law, it was an unfair law that needed to be broken. She wasn't the first to do it, but i do thank her for her bravery.

It was an unjust law that needed to be broken .A black person must get up out of they seat to gave a white person that seat... I can understand getting up out of your seat to gave a pregnant person or an old person or a person with disability a seat but not just because of your skin colour .Any law that is NOT FAIR should BE BROKEN ,Race or not..She was brave in a time it was not safe to do so.Rosa Parks an AMAZING human being that just wanted to be treated as a HUMAN BEING.and NOT A COLOUR.

The law doesn't match what's right, until that's resolved our world will not be complete. Great and inspiring woman! brilliant to see poetry in the real world, her story is like a poem.

Rosa Parks did break a law that was in place at that time. It's just that the law was an unjust law. When one stands up for what he/she believes in the face of an oppressive, unjust law, it is 'civil disobedience.' Sometimes, it's what is necessary to change the course of history. She did what she needed to do. Jim Crow laws were unjust. ---signed: caucasian female teacher
