It details how prejudice shaped her community and personal choices, her work and civic involvement with the NAACP, and the broader denial of equal rights in the United States. The account culminates on December 1, 1955, when Rosa refuses to surrender her bus seat, sparking momentum for the Civil Rights movement and equality under law.","Literacy International: Special Women: Rosa Parks  \nCopyright © 2018 Literacy International [info@LiteracyInternational.net](info@LiteracyInternational.net)  \nEnglish Non Fiction  \nLiteracy International:  \nSpecial Women: Rosa Parks  \nCopyright © 2018 Literacy International [info@LiteracyInternational.net](info@LiteracyInternational.net)  \nEnglish  \nCopyright © 2018, Literacy International  \n[http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/](http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/)  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

This lady was sitting in the “colored section” of the bus. The colored section was for people with brown or black skin. Buses in the southern states then had two sections, one for white people and one for colored people.  \nSeveral white-skinned people got on the bus. All the seats in the “white section” were already filled. The bus driver told the African-American lady to give up her seat so that a white person could sit down. She refused. Because she refused, a new movement started. It was a movement for dark-skinned people in the United States. They said they wanted to be treated with respect. They wanted to have the same rights that white people had.  \nWho was this African-American lady who would not give up her seat? Her name was Rosa Parks. Weremember her because she spoke out for “Civil Rights.” That means she believed all people should be treated the same. It doesn’t matter what skin color they have. It doesn’t matter how rich they are or what their religion is.  \nAs a child, Rosa went to a one-room schoolhouse. It was just for African-Americans, or “Negroes, or“blacks.” The white children in her town had a new school building. The African-American children had just the small building and it was not in good condition. White children could ride on a school bus. African Americans had to walk to school. Often white children were mean to Rosa. Sometimes she fought back, sometimes she did not.  \nRosa grew up on a farm with her younger brother, her mother and her grandparents. Both her grandmother and her grandfather had been slaves. They knew how mean some slave-owners had been. They wanted black people to be treated the same as white people. Rosa believed the same way they did. She was a Christian. She went to the African Methodist Episcopal Church.  \nMany times a group of very angry, mean white people called the Ku Klux Klan came to Rosa’s neighborhood. They wore white costumes and hoods. They looked like ghosts. They wanted to scare and hurt the AfricanAmericans.  \nThese white people sometimes burned down houses of the African-Americans. Sometimes they even killed them. Rosa’s grandfather would stand in front of his house with a shotgun when the Ku Klux Klan members walked down their street.  \nRosa was treated badly even when she was young. People treated her badly just because she was black. When people act that way, we say they are“prejudiced.” They are mean to other people just because they are different.  \nRosa went to school for several years. Then she left school to take care of her sick grandmother.  \nAt the age of 19, Rosa married Raymond Parks. He hada job cutting people’s hair. Rosa worked as a hospital aide. She also cleaned people’s houses and had other jobs. Her husband encouraged her to finish highschool. She did. At that time less than 1 in 10 AfricanAmericans had a high school diploma. But she had one.  \nRosa and her husband were active in a group called NAACP. It was the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. That group tried to get better treatment for African-Americans. White people wouldn’t let them go to certain restaurants, schoo","cbCaijBHONKaPemy","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijBHONKaPemy","pdf",187913,1,16,"English","en",105,"# Rosa Parks and Segregation\n## The Bus and the “Colored” Section\n## Learning and Discrimination as a Child\n## Family History and Beliefs\n## Ku Klux Klan Threats\n## Work and Community Activism (NAACP)\n## Turning Points in 1943 and 1955","[{\"question\":\"Why did Rosa Parks refuse to give up her bus seat on December 1, 1955?\",\"answer\":\"She was tired and the bus was crowded, and the driver shifted the sign to require Black passengers to give up their seats.
