Born:
Rosa Parks was born on Febuary the 4th 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Early in her life her parnets seperated and so she was rased up in a broken home. Her family gave her early experiences to racial dicrimination with her grandma standing in front of the door as the Ku Klux Klan walked down the road with a shotgun. She went to a seggregates one room school in Alabama that lacked essential suplies like desks, the african american students had to walk while the white children had provided bus transport. Eventually she left school to look after her sick grandma and mum and never returned.
Midlife
In 1932 when she was only 19 she married Raymond Parks, who was a member of the NAACP. Whith his support she went on to get a degree and continued to help in civil rights issues.

On December the 1st 1955 Rosa Parks was on a bus. While on this bus an event would happen that would change her life forever. A white person asked to take her seat on the bus and she refused. This was against bus policy and the bus driver was not happy and kept insitising she moved. Eventually she was arrested and prosceuted for disobeying the Jim Crow Laws which where in place to make segregation between the white and black people. This sparked bus people to boycott the bus stops altogether in protests of these laws and this heavily impacted the economic bus stuff. This was aginst the right that we are all freeand equal.
Impact On The Civil Right Movement
As a result of all these she helped push along the civil right movement. In the short term she created more people doing similar things, for instance more bus boycotts which really effected the money being made by bus componys. By doing this they forced the governments hand and they eliminated the law against bus segregation, however this happened 381 days after the boycott began and on that day they ended. This helped the Jim Crow laws to be fassed out which would help stop segregation and racistness.
