Rosa Parks quote of the day: When your mind is made up, fear shrinks | Today News
Rosa Parks, born Rosa Louise McCauley in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1913, became one of the most important civil rights figures in American history. On December 1, 1955, Parks refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus, an act that helped spark the Montgomery Bus Boycott and became a defining moment in the Civil Rights Movement. Parks’s message is not about stubbornness for its own sake; it is about knowing when conscience must become action.
