Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was a woman in 1955 who decided to break the LAW. Rosa had worked a long day and was tired. She boarded the bus and decided she would sit in the front of the bus and not the back as blacks were told to do. Rosa was then driven to the police station and arrested for breaking the law.
