Rosa Parks As An Activist

This world is in need of heroes, big or small, to change the world and make it a better place for the future. Nelson Mandela in South Africa, Harriet Tubman in America, and Malala Yousafzai in Pakistan, rose up in their society from the support of their advocates to the hero by changing something in the world and inspiring others to fight for a cause. Even though these individuals fought to enact change in this world for different causes, they all worked to make it a better future for others.

Martin Luther King Jr. is an idol for most people; Rosa Parks was one of them. She admired his bold integrity to stand up for what is right in equality. Dr. King was a light to the world, because people wanted things to change, but they were afraid. They did not want to be arrested or attacked. They could boycott. They could refuse to ride the buses. That would cost the city a lot of money. The city and bus officials would not like that. This was a way Dr. King was standing up for Rosa. I added Dr. King to Rosa’s friends, because I felt he made a great impact on her life. If it weren’t for Martin Luther King’s heroic act in taking charge of the situation, Rosa Parks may have been in jail longer than intended, with a possible worse penalty.

One of the worlds best known advocates of non-violent social change strategies was Martin Luther King Jr. He synthesized ideals drawn from many different cultural traditions.

Even though Rosa Parks stood up for her rights she still suffered after the arrest. She lost her department store job and her husband was fired because he talked about Rosa’s legal case to his boss. They had to leave Montgomery because they could not find any other jobs, no one would hire her. They ended up moving to Detroit Michigan and she found a job as a secretary and receptionist in U.S. Representative John Conyers congressional office.

There has always been great activists, some are professors, such as Elie Wiesel but most importantly,, we are human beings and part of a community. Being able to help is to stand up for others beliefs in religion, culture, race and most of all political views. For that, i do agree with Elie, i want to believe in a place that a human being is more important than social standards. Many injustices have happened, one of the most horrific events in history would be the Holocaust, but over time we learn how to get the attention to help change any situation, like the day president Trump was sworn in, everyone thought that we would be made unimportant, put aside, and that is the reason why protests for women's and immigrants rights were conducted.

Many activists had a great impact on our society. An activist is a person who campaigns for some kind of social change or someone who is actively involved in a political or social cause.

“The only tired I was, was tired of giving in” (Parks). I was tired, tired of being oppressed, and tired of being stepped on by the law, and my fellow people. That was the only tired i felt. The Montgomery Bus protest sparked a fire that would be felt throughout the entire country, and it was the spark that ignited the fire of the civil rights movement that shook the world. The boycott was the first of it, once light was shown on the problem, she began travelling cross country spreading information about civil rights, and sparking more peaceful protest. Rosa Parks was an important figure that changed the direction of the United States of America. She was trying to get home from work that day, but she turned into an icon for the civil rights movement, and shined a light on the unfair treatment of african americans.

One activist that sacrificed her life for her cause is Malala Yousafzai. A group of terrorists called the “Taliban” took over Afghanistan and took women’s rights away. Malala fought for girls’ education and inspired other girls in Afghanistan to stand up for their freedom. Malala wasn’t scared of the Taliban coming after her because they thought that they

Rosa Parks is a well-known historical figure who famously refused to give up her seat to a white man on a bus in Montgomery in 1955 and has been given the title ‘the mother of the civil rights movement’. The civil rights movement was a national effort made by both black people, and supporters of equal rights during the 1950’s and 60’s with the aim to move away from segregation and towards equality. The segregation laws became known as the ‘Jim Crow’ laws to many people as he was a black man who was discriminated against in the ‘minstrel shows’, comedy acts performed by black people, or white people in ‘blackface’. There are many arguments surrounding this era such as the fact that Rosa Parks is a more remembered figure than others, who arguably
