Rosa Parks or Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was a prominent American civil rights activist and social movement leader born in 1913 in Alabama, to the family of mixed African American and European origin. She graduated from a local school for girls in Montgomery and shortly after got married to a small barbershop serviceman. In the late 1930s, she started getting interested in various social activities and joining various African American rights related movement, together with her husband. Rosa was taking a variety of related office jobs but was mainly focused on coordinating social activities, which peaked in the mid-1950s, when the famous Montgomery bus boycott took place.
