  1. I think that Rosa Park is one truth heroine she allowed America to becom again about what our father-founders had dreamed.
    She militated in associations of defence of the civil rights.
    Rosa Park entered the history of United States to have refused, in a bus, to give up his seat to a white.In his time the blacks were not pratically entitled to compare with the white the racist feeling was very strong. I finf that this woman had a lot of courage to surmount quite her horror.
    It is the remarkable woman that I respect many.

  2. Rosa Parks is a hero, her act permited the United States to realise the injustice against black people, and to change the law. Rosa Parks is an icon in the world for her act and her determination.
    If I was on the bus, I would help Rosa Parks and I would answer to the bus driver that he was stupid and prejudiced, because he hadn't understood that all persons are same, black people and white people.

  3. Rosa Parks can be considered as a symbol of civil right and above all as a pioneer in African American civil rights . She refused to obey a bus driver who ordered that she must give up her seat to make room for a white passenger. After that she is been considering as a person who inspired a whole generation of people to fight for their freedom.

  4. Rosa Parks is a symbol of the struggle against racial segregation in the United States. She is a hero because she refused to give up her seat on the bus and be ill-treated like the other black passengers who didn't dare say what they thought.
    By this behavior, Rosa Parks militated in associations of the defense of the 1950s US civil rights.
    If I were a passenger in the bus, I will take the defense of Rosa Parks ad help her because the driver of the bus attacked her for no reason, if she didn't want to let her seat, it's her choice. This situation is unjust.

  5. Fisrt of all, Rosa Parks was a seamstress who became a symbolic figure of the fight against racial segregation in the United States. Indeed, Rosa Parks became famous on 1 December 1955, in Montgomery (Alabama) in refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger in the bus. This event happened in a period of American history when black will not avaitent of law. As a result, many Pro-black movements were created.Rosa campaigned in assocaiotns and against the segregation. Besides, after this moment, she received the nickname of "mother of the civil rights movement" by the US Congress.
    To my mind, If I had been on the bus, I would have told the driver that we are all human beings, no race is superior ... The color, religion, ethnic group only differentiates us in any case because we are all Men.

  6. Hello everyone,

    First of all, Rosa Parks was an African-American civil rights activist. She is best known for what she did in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955. While she sat in a seat in the middle of a bus, the bus driver told her to move to the back of the bus so a white passenger could take her seat. Rosa Parks refused to move. At that time, there were no seats for black people. She was then arrested. However, her refusal to let others treat her differently was an important symbol in the campaign against racial segregation and led to a change in the law.

    If I were in the bus while this happened, I would have supported her. To me, being black or white is only a matter of colour and I find it absolutely absurd that there was actually a law which said that black people had to give their seat to a white person. This is why I would have told the bus driver that every single person on earth is equal and no one has any right to tell a black person they aren't allowed to sit wherever they want.

  7. I always have had a lot of admiration for the courage of this lady!
    What would have i done had i been in her shoes? would i have had the courage to brave ancestral unfair laws?

    I guess that when one reaches the point of "enough is enough", one does not think in terms of "am i brave enough?" but rather of "this unfairness has to end"!
