Rosa Parks
The article about Rosa Parks was very interesting because some of the events that it mentions such as how the the polices were involved in terrorizing black communities and how bad white people threated them broke my hearth because color dosen't matter.But am gald that in the first decade of the 20th century,the article mentions Black Americans united to reclaim their lost civil rights. Rosa Louise McCauley was born in Tuskegee, Alabama. Rosa Parks "Mother of the Civil Rights Movements" was born during a very difficult era, An era that could be defined as the apartheid. She was the granddaughter of former slaves and the daughter of James McCauley, a carpenter, and Leona McCauley, a rural schoolteacher. Back then black americans lived with anguish because of the constant abuse from the white people, not only in public transportation, in theaters, in stores,in restaurants and in bathrooms, public parks and libraries also. They were treated inhumanely. The abhor of the white people against Black Americans were the reason for many hate crimes against them. Ku Klux Klan memebers and unfair police officials destroyed theirs homes unfairly prosecuting them and treating them with intense ferocity. White people’s arrogance went far beyond color,they could not abstruse that they were human as well. This was a period of lots of humiliation also called “nadir period”. This was the environment in which Rosa Parks was born and raised. Not even those conditions stopped her for being one of the most courageous women of her time. She very well deserves the name of the Mother of the Civil rights Movement. She married Raymond Rosa Parks, a barber, with whom she became active in Montgomery's chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Rosa Parks was a very brave woman, I thank her alot for what she did. It was well done.
