about it in class and at home and try our best
to think carefully about how each value will
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.
