Rosa Parks, known as ‘The Mother Of The Civil Rights Movement,’ was a shy and timid person, but she was brave inside, so she stood up to racism and white supremacy.
Growing up, Rosa witnessed a lot of racism. Schools, buses, restaurants, and other places were segregated. This meant that black and white people were not allowed to use the same things. Rosa was inspired to help and uplift her community by working for the NAACP. The NAACP was an organization committed to fighting for equal rights and justice.
One day changed Rosa’s life. It was the day that she refused to be pushed around and bullied by a racist system. When she was told by the driver to give her seat to a white man, she refused to move. The bus driver had her arrested. This sparked a series of protests and marches for equal rights and justice for black people.
The Black History Activity Books stimulate the imagination and curiosity of the reader to use critical thinking and problem-solving to complete the books.
