ROSA PARKS

Rosa Parks is the woman that started the Civil Rights Movement. Becuase of her profound prophetic act of refusing to give up her seat to a White Passenger on a bus, a 381 day Bus Boycott was started in Montgomery, Alabama, after she was arrested and made to pay a $14.00 fine for civil disobediance, landing her the title of "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement." Rosa Parks had no idea that her refusing to give up her seat would make African Americans free today to sit anywhere they want to on any bus, nationwide. She is another Dream Girl because she dared any black person to feel as though they were as equal as the next person and dared you to believe that you deserved to be treated as a Child of God and not Dirt in the woods. She went home to the lord, taking her final rest, in the City of Detroit, Michigan on Monday October 24, 2005 after a job well done.
