Rosa Parks was a very brave woman. She is such a role model. Rosa Parks is a great inspiration to children and adults. What she did was so bold. I am about to tell you what she did that was so bold. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks took the bus home after work. The bus wasn’t filled up then, so Rosa sat in the front. Besides, she did pay her ten cents. Soon she saw more people. She knew that trouble was going to happen. Later on, the bus driver told everyone to clear the first row because a white man didn’t have anywhere to sit. The three people in Rosa’s row got up and moved, but Rosa stayed there. She felt it was only fair that she stayed in her seat because she paid her fare. The bus driver told her that he was going to have to arrest her if she doesn’t move. Rosa replied by staying in her seat not willing to get up. Later on, the cops came and she was arrested. This caused a riot. People heard this and started a boycott. This was also a start of the Civil Rights Movement. After so long the bus drivers didn’t make that much money as they used to so they changed the law. To let everyone sit where they want, no matter what race or skin color they are. Rosa Parks helped the rights for millions of people. Rosa Parks is very important, as you can see Rosa Parks played a major role in the Civil Rights Movement. She refused to give up her seat to a white guy. She knew she was right and she stand up for herself. She helped change the law for millions of people. The right to seat anyway you want no matter what y our skin color is or what race you are. That is why Rosa Parks is important to the Civil Rights Movement.

 * Rosa Parks is one of our civil rights heroes.**
 * She stand-up for all color peoples rights. She is a proud African Americans. That is why I am doing my report on Rosa Parks.**
 * When Rosa Parks was living back in the day the color and whites were segregated. The whites got better then the blacks. Rosa Parks was very tired one day and stayed in her seat. The bus driver said she had to move to the back, but she stayed in the seat. He called the cops on her and she went to jail.**
 * She didn’t stay the night. Her husband bailed her out with the friends help. She had to go to in three days. They said she was guilty. She had to pay 14 dollars. She didn’t pay it because she knew she was not guilty.**
 * There was a meeting about what to her. They had a boycott so color people took ride with friend until they gave them there rights to ride the bus and sit any where.**
 * At the end they won the boycott. Someone paid for she can be freed. Rosa Parks made a movement because of one person. I knew she was happy it happen.**
 * All of that happen because one white man wanted to sit down. She was only one to stand up to that bus driver. That is why I picked Rosa Parks.**
