Rosa Parks’ Quiet Defiance Changed History Forever
Parks grew up working on her family’s farm and later as a domestic worker. In 1932, she married Raymond Parks, who encouraged her to complete her high school diploma and engage in activism. By 1943, she was attending NAACP meetings and soon became secretary of the Montgomery branch.
Rosa Parks’ defiance on a Montgomery bus ignited a movement that transformed American society. Her lifetime of activism, from local NAACP work to national protests, cemented her legacy as a symbol of resistance. Today, her contributions remain a cornerstone of civil rights history.
