When Rosa Parks was living she was know as one of the "first lady rights activist" and she still is known for that today. In Dec 1,1995 she was arrested for not giving up her seat for a white passenger and later on in life she was an icon in the Civil Rights movement, but she suffered the hardships as a result. Later on in life she kept on doing good things in her life time. In 1957 her husband Raymond and Rosa left Montgomery so that Rosa can go find a job for herself. In 1965 Rosa was hired as a secretary and she was excellent at it until she retired in 1988. In 1970, that's when things started to go bad for Rosa because he family started getting illnesses and her husband and herself started to get stomach aches. The saddest part was that in Aug 19,1977 her husband died because of throat cancer. And later on she robbed and struck in the face, and when the robber was caught he was sentenced 8-15 years of life in prison. And traveling further Rosa died in Oct 24,2005 because of natural causes, but now she is still remembered in my life time for being one of the best women in life and to me she is right next to Maya Angelou.
This reminds me of a movie that was based on her life story and it is a good movie because it show every little detail that is in the movie.
