Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Her birth name was Rosa Louise McCauley. Rosa’s parents separated when she was two years old, and she and her mother moved to Pine Level, Alabama to live with her grandparents. Rosa moved to Montgomery, Alabama when she was 11 so that she could go to school. She dropped at age 16 to care for sick grandmother, and her very sick mother. At age 19, she married a man named Raymond Parks, and shortly after was given her high school diploma.

On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was headed home on the bus from her job at the Montgomery Fair department store. When a white man stepped on to her bus, the driver, James Blake, asked her along with three other passengers to stand and allow the man to sit down. The other three obeyed, while Rosa did not. When Rosa did not stand, two police officers started to investigate the bus, placing Rosa into jail. On the day of Rosa’s trial, December 5, all colored people agreed to boycott the bus system, which eventually put them out of service.

Some challenges and hardships that Rosa Parks had to overcome were bravery to go against segregation. Rosa Parks knew that she would most likely be placed in jail for breaking the law, however, she proceeded anyway. Rosa also had to overcome the hate and physical harassment given to her by white people. Finally, she had to deal with losing her job and receiving threats from the people inside Alabama.

The civil rights movement was a large protest against racist laws and segregated discrimination. It lasted many years and included many black icons. The civil rights movement was most dominant in the late 1950s in southern United States. At the end of the civil rights movement, black people were granted equal rights through the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. This first began with slavery and unfair rules and laws.

A connection between Rosa Parks and Sophie Scholl is that both mostly kept quiet and to themselves until they were needed. Both also stood up for themselves when it was important and had something to represent. For example, Rosa Parks stood up for herself when unfair laws and rules were forcing her to obey to a white man, and later was put into jail. Sophie Scholl was quiet before she found out that her brother was involved in the White Rose resistance group, and proceeded to sneak around and spread pamphlets exposing Hitler. She was later executed for her crimes. However, they are different because each was punished for a different cause.
