Meet the Woman Who Helped a Nation Enter Into a New Age and Spawn a Rejuvenated Social Consciousness
By the end of 1955, America witnessed a quiet revolution. Racial prejudice was rampant in the country back then. On Dec 1, 1955, a 42-year-old black woman stood up against racial segregation by refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man. She was arrested and fined $14 which was a large sum of money at the time. That woman was Rosa Parks.
Not only was Mrs. Parks instrumental in having the United States Supreme Court overturn the racial segregation law, but she also began a lifelong campaign against racial prejudice across the nation. During the course of her life, she received the President Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.
