Rosa Parks
Could you imagine a line drawn across Poway highs campus where all the African Americans of our school stood on the left and all the whites stood on the right? Now imagine if one of the African American students stepped over the line and was arrested, and at the same time one of the white students crossed over but received no punishment. This is what it was like for the African American community in the 1955’s, they were not treated with equal rights. There were many African Americans that helped paved the way to equality one of which is a woman by the name of Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks started a chain of events that would change the way we look at each other and change history.
