December 1, 2010 is the 55th anniversary of the day Rosa Parks decided not to give up her seat to a "white man" and move to the back of the bus. Whether she was just too tired to move from work or she was just sick and tired of being relegated to "second-class citizenship" she started a boycott of the bus-line, as well as a movement to repel a ridiculous law that regulated people of color to have fewer rights than others. As told by The Examiner.com in an Article by Bill Belew Rosa Parks literally triggered The Civil Rights Movement in the United States with the help of a well-known man and icon, Martin Luther King. Let us be thankful this day for those who are willing to stand up for their rights and ours.

During February 4,1913,
A small black girl was born in Tuskegee.
Alabama is the state that holds the small city,
And then, she had to move to Montgomery.
The baby's name was Rosa.
Her parents were James and Leona.
Her dad was a very skilled carpenter,
And her mom was a very good teacher.
Rosa was taught by her mother.
She went to a school when she was older.
Rosa was an excellent reader.
She loved everything that they have taught her.
She got married to a guy named Raymond,
And her husband was an inspiration.
She got her education,
And had a graduation,
And this is how she changed the nation.
Some people dislike African-Americans.
They were judging by the color of their black skin.
During that time, there were no civil rights,
And all the discrimmination started making huge fights.
Rosa thought this was very unjust,
So she sat on an empty seat at the back of a bus.
Then, a white man wanted to take her seat,
But Rosa didn't even move her feet.
Then, the driver came and told her to go,

Deviants Around dA :devart: Pay Tribute to Rosa Parks:

Rosa Parks by Laroche Rosa by CheshireSpider Rosa Parks by AfterTheBreaking Rosa Parks by sanne707 :thumb24737075: In Memory of RosaOne small woman
a seamstress by trade
refused to give up
her seat
This one act
fueled a change
and began to right
an injustice
When you begin to think
one person alone
can't possibility make
a difference.
Remember the seamstress
who sat for her rights
as an American
Tho Rosa has passed
her spirit lives on
in the faces
of our Brothers and Sisters.
