ROSA PARKS


"No", Rosa Parks replied quietly to the bus driver. "I'm not going to get up and give my seat to a white person." It wasn't the first time Rosa had felt angry about the rules which treated people differently. When she was a little girl, Rosa had hated the water fountains marked "colored" for the African - Americans to use. She didn't like the old, crowded schools she attended while the white children went to new ones. Rosa disliked the fact that she could not sit down and drink a soda at the same lunch counter where white people were served. But the way African - Americans were treated on the city buses in Montgomery, Alabama, made Rosa angriest of all.
