Mrs. Parks
Rosa peaked the interest of a young man name Raymond Parks. A friend of Rosa's wanted the two of them to meet, but Rosa was reluctant to do so. She had had a lot of heartache in the past, and she also thought he was too white. Despite her disinterest, Raymond Parks did not quit pursuing her.
Parks was the first real activist Rosa had ever met. He was a member of the NAACP, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Raymond Parks worked for the Scottsboro Boys, helping to defend wrongly accused criminals. Rosa admired his courage for helping with such a risky trial.
During Rosa and Raymond's second meeting, Raymond suggested the two get married. Rosa agreed. There was never a proposal, but with the permission of Rosa's mother, the two became engaged. The two married four months later in December of 1932.
