Rosa Parks would have been 111 years old on February 4th. Watch this video about Rosa Parks and the events leading up to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a very important time in history.
Rosa displayed great courage to stand up for what she believed to be right.
Pick one of Rosa’s quotes below and explain what it means:
- 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.
- Each person must live their life as a model for others.
- Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.
The third one means the legacy of our work and the legacy of our deeds will continue spreading through people forever.
The 2nd one means that you should be a role model.
