Accomplishments : She was an African-American woman who became an iconic figure of the fight against racial segregation in the United States.
She became famous on 1 December 1955 in Montgomery, because she didn’t want to give her place to white man in the bus. There were sections reserved for the Whites and others for colored people. The whites had to sit down at the front of the bus but the blacks had to sit down at the back. 
When Rosa Parks refused give her seat at the front of bus, she was arrested and had to pay a fine. Afterward, Rosa Parks became an icon for the Civil Rights movement. 
I chose Rosa Parks because she is an icon in America and she was a very important person, she changed many rules and she changed the lives of many people. I think she is a model to everyone because she fought for her values and for a very important cause, equality.
