Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was an American civil rights activist, often known as the ˜mother of the freedom movement' and ˜the first lady of civil rights'. She was an African-American civil rights activist who ignited the Civil Rights Movement by taking a brave step that no other African-American person dared to take until then. She lived and worked in Montgomery where there was a very clear demarcation of what was for black people and what was reserved for white people. Apparently, black people were not allowed to sit alongside white people in the public buses. There were special reserved seats for them in the rear end of the bus and their seating was based completely on the discretion of the driver. One day when Parks was coming back from work, she was asked to get up and give her seat to a white passenger, to which she said no. She was arrested in 1955 for this act, the incident that caused the Civil Rights Movement to flare up. Parks grew up, worked and lived most of her life in Montgomery and along with her husband she was already a part of a social activist group. The magnanimity of her actions made her very famous and she lived all of her life devoting her time and energy for social causes and emancipation of the African-Americans.

She married barber Raymond Parks, a member of the NAACP, in 1932.

Her school, the Montgomery Industrial School, was burned down twice by racist arsonists.

There are two Rosa Parks days in her honor: Her birthday, February 4th, and the day of her arrest, December 1st.
