influence our thoughts and actions.

Rosa Parks“I have learned over the years that when one's

mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing

what must be done does away with fear.”

Rosa Parks stood up for equal rights for black

people in America in 1955. She stood up for what she

believed to be right and did not follow the segregation

laws at the time.

She refused to give up her seat on the bus for a

white man. Her courageous act helped initiate the

civil rights movement in the USA.
