Question

Write one paragraph explaining how Rosa Parks became “a hero and an inspiration to people all over the nation who were looking for racial equality”.

Answer 1

Called "the mother of the civil rights movement," Rosa Parks invigorated the struggle for racial equality when she refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in Montgomery, Alabama. Parks' arrest on December 1, 1955 launched the Montgomery Bus Boycott by 17,000 black citizens.
