About Rosa:
Rosa Parks is best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, but there are many aspects of her life and legacy that are less well-known. Beyond her famous act of civil disobedience in 1955, Parks had a long history of activism. She was involved in the NAACP years before her arrest, as the secretary to the Montgomery chapter while working on numerous cases of racial injustice.
Rosa Parks' legacy extends beyond her contribution to the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s. She continued her activism by founding the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development which focuses on youth development and empowerment, ensuring that her legacy of resilience and activism continues to inspire future generations.
Her quiet strength and unwavering commitment to justice have made her an enduring symbol of the fight for equality, demonstrating that individual acts of courage can indeed spark widespread social change.
