Have you ever thought about how much one action can impact the whole world? For instance, Rosa Parks decided she did not want to move to another seat on the bus, only because of her color, and it impacted the entire world. Now if a busdriver wanted to make a black person move to a different seat, then that person would get a whole bunch of hate. Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913. She was an activist in the Civil Rights Movement. She was given nicknames like “the first lady of civil rights” and “the mother of the freedom movement.” On December 1, 1955, Parks refused to give her seat up to a person with white colored skin. The busdriver that she was arguing with’s name was James F. Blake. This was the spark to lots of civil rights activists.
