Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks (1913-2005) was an African American civil rights activist best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery bus boycott in 1955. Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus to a white passenger on December 1, 1955, as required by the city's segregation laws at the time. Her act of civil disobedience sparked a boycott of Montgomery's buses that lasted for over a year, and became a key moment in the civil rights movement.

Parks was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, and grew up in Montgomery. She was involved in civil rights activism for many years prior to the bus boycott, working with the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) to fight against segregation and discrimination. Her act of defiance on the bus made her a symbol of the civil rights movement, and she continued to work for social justice throughout her life.

Parks received numerous awards and honors for her activism, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996. She passed away in 2005 at the age of 92.

Rosa Parks' courageous act of refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama bus was a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement in the United States. Her bravery and commitment to social justice inspired others to stand up against segregation and discrimination, and helped to spark the Montgomery bus boycott, which lasted for over a year. Parks' continued activism and advocacy for civil rights throughout her life was an important contribution to the struggle for equality and justice for all people. 

Martin Luther King Jr Speech

"I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.

Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.

But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.

In a sense, we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."
It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality.

King's speech called for an end to segregation and discrimination, and he challenged Americans to live up to the ideals of freedom and equality enshrined in the nation's founding documents. He dreamed of a world where his children would not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.
