  6. My hero is Rosa Parks. One biographical fact about Rosa Parks is she didn't move for the front of the bus. She showed other black people that they don't have to move if they don't want to. She with to jail because of that but ever since then black people sat in the front of the bus. I think she did this toW make other black people see they can do what ever they want. Weather its the front or the back she showed them that. That is some important facts about Rosa Parks.

  7. The preson i pick was Rosa Parks because she would not get off her seat to a white man.A driver told her to give up her seat to a white man. Rosa Parks refused, and was arrested for the city’s racial segregation. Rosa Parks was a intellagent African-American woman. Four days after Rosa Parks arrest, an activist organization called the Montgomery Improvement Association—led by a young pastor named Martin Luther King, Jr.—spearheaded a boycott of the city’s municipal bus company.That is why i pick Rosa Parks
