Rosa Parks was known as the very first black person to stand against a white person on the bus. Back then on the buses you had two areas. The black area which was in the back,and the white people area which was toward the front. When the white person area was full a black person would have to get up for them. Rosa parks was sitting in the back person area when the white section was full. Then a white person got on the bus and the bus driver told her to get up. She denied it and that was how her story began.
Rosa Parks was born on February 4th,1913 and died on October 24th,2005. Her Husband was a man named Raymond Parks.
