Rosa by S.M.
I was born in
McCauley, Alabama on February 4th, 1913. My name is
Rosa Parks and I worked in a factory that made warm stuff like
blankets, I was a very good friend to Martin Luther King because he
wanted desegregation like me. We both believed in
non-violence.
I was working with the civil rights movements. I was fighting with very nice words in a way. I think that the contribution was when I was getting the country desegregated and to get the Jim Crow laws repealed. I think I got more people happy by getting us desegregated. I had lots of courage when I went through all the stuff I did. First I went on the bus and I had a seat and a white man came up to me and said, “Get up. I need a seat.” I said, “No, thank you.” Then he told the police and I got arrested. Martin L. King came and got me out of there and we got a lot of white people to sit in the black section in the restaurant and we got the black people to sit in the white section. I got arrested again then the restaurant gave up and the restaurant and the buses got desegregated. I think that the bus story is more difficult than anything else. I would say to students that you should never give up if you really want it to happen .
