The most inspiring thing about Rosa Parks

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the most inspiring thing about Rosa Parks is that even though people told her that she was wrong and to give up, she kept going and did her best to fight for what she believed in.

Rosa believed that everybody should have equal rights. Because of this worldview, she therefore clashed with people who believed that black people should have less rights and that non-black people were 'more important'. Rosa was impacted by her faith, and she firmly believed that God had meant to create everybody equal. She fought for what she believed in even though most people thought that she was it meant doing something different and going against the crowd

Throughout the boycott, Parks stood up for her beliefs, no matter the cost. This could have offended many people, however she always ensured that it would be a peaceful protest. Some people that she could have offended were the bus driver (James Blake), with whom she'd already fought with against black rights, and the person for whom she'd refused to give up her seat. This could have impacted them to see how others were affected by the lack of civil rights.

Rosa never gave up on her dream to have an equal America. She risked her own life instead of others and encouraged open-mindedness throughout the campaign. For several years prior to the famous bus boycott, she had already been campaigning for better treatment of the black community. She helped to spark the civil rights movement and did everything in her power to make her dream a reality.

Rosa Parks did what she did because she was tired of how black people in America were being treated. Parks could have been sent to jail or worse, but she stood her ground for what she believed. She did this as a peaceful protest so that others would not be at risk, meanwhile putting herself in danger.

Rosa Parks encouraged open-mindedness by fighting for civil rights. This encouraged people to view the world in different ways and see the world from the point of view of a black person.

On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man. This was crucial in starting the civil rights movement in the US. She became known as "the mother of the civil rights movement"

After the fateful bus journey, Rosa initiated the civil rights movement in the US. On the 1st of December, 1955, Rosa parks was officially convicted of violating segregation laws. This led to a bus boycott organised by the local black community leaders. The boycott was led by a young Martin Luther King Jr. , and   continued for more than a year. Her actions lead to a radical change in the society around her.

As stated in a book from Zondervan Press in 1995, Parks says "I felt the Lord would give me the strength to endure whatever I had to face. God did away with all my fear. It was time for someone to stand up- or, in my case, sit down. I refused to move."
