Rosa Parks


(en.wikipedia.org)

    In honor of Black History month, I decided to dedicate this post to my favorite woman in history, Rosa Parks.
     Now, I hope we all know who Rosa Parks was and how she sparked the Civil Rights Movement and changed history. She was a strong and courageous woman who inspired so many by just saying "No". By refusing to move to the back of the bus because of her skin color, she started a movement. I especially love Rosa Parks because there are so few women in history mentioned. Seems like men apparently did everything in my history textbook, so I tend to enjoy a bit of girl power.
     I think we tend to forget about Black History month and how important it is to give recognition to those who made great changes in history. I think we owe it to Rosa to recognize what she did and how she inspired so many men and women. So when you have a chance, look up some people in history. Whether they are African, Caucasian, Latino or any ethnicity. I always think that being cultured and knowledgeable is the most attractive trait to a person.
