Rosa Parks

ROSA PARKS

By miss Claudia Palomino García Pacheco

 

Rosa Parks was borne in Alabama in 1913, as a child she suffered the injustices and mistreatments of the Apartheid. Let´s don’t forget that there were 148 Apartheid laws. One of the laws banned the buses to pick up black students, so Rosa had to walk to school every day, another law made black people give up their seats in case a white person needed it.

So on December 1^st 1955 she was going back home from work with other three black people she was told to give up her seat to a white male passenger to which  she refused and as a consequence she was arrested.  On December 5^th 1955 she was sued and found guilty, she was fined $14.00 (dollars).

She has become a role model because of her courage, self respect, and determination to fight for her right as a human being and as a citizen. We can’t forget the brave and courageous people who fought in the midst of so much tribulation and injustices, we have to remember how incredibly brave were these people by standing for their rights even risking their lives and how important is the impact of their actions even these days. Let’s not forget the past so this doesn’t happen again.
