Rosa Parks was born in Montgomery, Alabama. In the 1950's black people were separated from white people in buses, cafés, cinemas, or schools. This upset the black people very much. One day, after Rosa Parks was finished work for the day, she got on the bus and sat down. Then the bus driver told Rosa to get off her seat to let a white person on it but Rosa said no. She said she was tired of being treated as a second class citizen.
