Rosa: An Inspiration to Us All
Rosa Parks is such an amazing person for so many reasons. She was just an ordinary person who turned an everyday event (riding the bus) into a history-changing event. She did not do it for the fame - she did it because it was the right thing to do. I think we can all learn something from Rosa Park's life before the boycott because she was such an amazing person already. Then, the courage it took to stand alone on that bus; facing humiliation, incarceration, and possibly even physical harm, was astounding. And Rosa didn't stop there. She continued her work in the Civil Rights Movement, despite the threatening letters and phone calls she received day and night. I may never do something for equality as big as Rosa did, but I know that after hearing Rosa's story, even standing up for the little misdoings in life can make a difference.
