Civil rights activist

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 (1913–2005) was an American civil rights activist. In 1955 she refused to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in defiance of segregation laws, which sparked the Montgomery bus boycott.
