Rosa Parks by B.H.

      Hello I’m Rosa Parks. I was born Feb. 4m 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. My grandpa and I stayed up all night because of the KKK (Ku Klux Klan). They were a group of white people who wanted black people to be slaves so they went around bombing and breaking into houses.  There was a teenage girl that refused to give up her seat to a white man I followed her great example.
     I have been through successes and  failures.      I had many jobs but I am known to work for civil rights.  I stopped segregation of the buses by boycotting them.  Also I didn’t give up my seat while I was riding one.  I stopped segregation on the buses.  I am a strong-willed leader. Also I like to sew and read. The greatest problems I had were segregation, the KKK, and going to jail for not giving up my seat. I would tell the students of today to never use violence to settle a problem and if something is unfair then try to fix it. Always treat people fairly.
