RIP Rosa an amazing lady
She was beautiful and so elegant!
She's 80 And Were Still Beautiful ❤️ RIP 1913-2005
She deserves every award. If it wasn’t for her, none of these award shows would even allow people of color to be there💯
It is because of our ancestor’s bravery that we enjoy some of these freedoms today.
She was so beautiful 😍
I so love this woman I love everything about her everytime I read her story I cry knowing what our coloured nation had to go through thank you Rosa will always be remembered as a hero💯
This incident isn't the only thing that happened that year regarding blacks riding the segregated buses. Earlier that year, a 15 year old girl was brutally beaten for not following the bus driver's orders. Five years earlier, a black soldier Thomas Edward Brooks was murdered on the bus in front of white and black people and the officer was not arrested. So, she was used as the face of the movement but not the primary cause of it. And Martin Luther King, Jr. wasn't the only black person either to help the movement there are unsung heroes who have never received recognition for being the true motivators for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and it was a group of black women (WOMEN'S POLITICAL COUNCIL) made countless phone calls to other black officials to spark a boycott. Edgar Daniel Nixon (a black man) is the man who really was behind black power movement in Montgomery, Alabama at that time. Journalists' and history teachers are not properly educating people on the particulars of the Civil Rights Movement. Some people are chosen to be forerunners, but victory isn't won by the General it's won by the unsung soldiers.
The 15 year old was Claudette Colvin. She was not brutally beaten nor was she hurt physically from the incident, but she was drug off the bus by 2 police officers.
She was the cause of it.
Claudetter Colvin was not beaten brutally but she absolutely DID boycott in March 1955. Months before Parks' staged and planned protest.
Yes....i agree!!!
Yes rosa was put on a pedestal due to her lighter complexion
God created us equal I was born in 1960 and I remember segregation in my school my family fought for equality in the state of Alabama. Dr. King had a message to tell the people we shall overcome. And thank God we did, In 1968 I was sent home from school because I had black friends and thank God I was proud of it. Thanks be to God whom the son sets free is free indeed.
Absolutely and naturally beautiful!! Thank you Queen
She was a BEAUTIFUL COURAGEOUS WOMAN!! i admire her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤. Without her we as Black People wouldnt have the freedom and opportunities we have!!. R.I.P Mrs. Rosa Parks

She is right up there with the women I admire most in the the world and in history.
Long live Rosa Park. I hope that freedom is real to all.
Tina, Aretha, Beyonce wouldnt be where they are without Rosa Parks.
Oh how true laylo04 how true. ☺
Yeah because they're the most important outcomes of Rosa's actions aren't they... idiot
And Martin Luther king wouldn’t be what he is without Meager Evers. He was also one of our Black civil rights leader. Let’s not forget about him.. Meagar Evers is very underrated.
I'm looking at this comment six years later and thinking if i wrote it in my sleep...
amazing woman with amazing hair
Just the essence of strength and beauty
A Great Saint of God !!!....I Had The Chance of Meeting Her Twice !!!...I Thank God For This Great Privilege !!!..
Thank You 😊 Ms. Rosa Parks 😍
I love her if it was not for her we would not be where we are today #colorhasnolove
Very important part of history. I will always remember the day I was with my best friend, also a white man, touring the Ford museum and I was so surprised and grateful to see the actual bus Rosa Parks rode. I went on the bus to check it out, while my best friend waited outside. When I asked him why he was not interested in the exhibition, he gave me a politically correct response, but I knew from that point forward that he was racist. It is such moments that we must be aware - when actions speak louder than words. Rosa Parks taught us exactly that.. Actions do speak louder than words. 💕
I'm russian/ukranian living in South Africa. Everytime I think or hear about racism my heart hurts 🤦♂️
R.I.P.
Rosa Parks
1913 - 2005

Essa mulher nós deu orgulho!
Oh yes this was oh so beautiful
Rosa Parks Was A Very Brave And Dearly Graceful Lady Of Strong Faith As Her Goodness Is Always With All The Great American People.
Awwww😭😭😭
E triste ver a discriminação que eram tratados, mas é bom ver que mulheres como Rosa Parks não desistiu e exigiu, lutou pelo direito que lhe era tirado. Com certeza existiram muitas Rosas Parks nestes períodos que não baixaram a suas cabeças e seguiram em frente lutando pelo seus direitos de cidadã e seres humanos igual a qualquer branco.
I love that Rosa Parks reaching out to touch Tina Turner's hand😍😍
Everybody loves Tina !!!!
I have been showing this to students after reading the latest book that came out with the real story of Rosa Parks. The students enjoy seeing a current video, program on TV and even RK Jr. giving the speech for students to take into perspective.
I love you, Rosa!!!
What an honour that must have been for Katherine to sing for Rosa Parks.
Thank you Rosa Parks!
Well I would like to say Thank you to Rosa Parks, Harriet Tubman, Martin Luther King Jr and so many more who paved the way for the Blacks to have equal opportunities just like the whites. Y’all will always be my heroes 🦸♀️ and please know that all those years ago what you all stood for has not been in vain. R.I.P
She is amazing 🤩 and so beautiful
Rosa Parks was an inspiration to us all I wasn’t born until 1976 but in school we learned of this wonderful woman and listened to the famous words Martin Luther King JR I have a dream that one day my children that they be in school together Rosa was a great teacher of that error I think to this day we need to look back on that day when she made America what it should be to day where there was very little valance until our President JFK was shot in 1963 and a civil rights movement Martin Luther King JR was shot in 1968 these two people Rosa Martin was two of our Civil Rights people of our h Hstory I think it needs to be in our schools today
imagine being the person who called the police on her seeing this in 1993 😔🤭
2002 January and I'm celebrating this moment right now thank you Rosa parks for all you did for menfor us for the black African American people thank you I love you zeiglers 8 we just want to be free people!

What!?... You sound crazy
God bless
That really sucks that they don't really mention the real reason why she didn't gaved up her seat and who she had in her mind to. Emmett Till was the real cause for the civil rights movement. That's why Rosa Parks didn't gaved up her seat for the reason she had in mind Emmett Till. That's why Dr. Martin Luther King Jr march with all the black people. I'm just saying because it's true.
Emmett Till was brutally murdered because of him being accused of offending a white woman in his family grocery store.
But Rosa Parks was the one and the real cause of the Civil Rights Movement, if she gave up her seat to a white passenger, do you think that all black people in the US right now has freedom today? And yes up until now there is racism going on all over the world, just be thankful for her bravery to stand against them. ALONE before she got arrested.
@@erinlee4595 Emmett till was the start of the civil rights
Yes u right
@@erinlee4595 your right about that part but that wasn't a reason why they have to kill him. He was young and he's mother was brave enough to open the box and had an open casket to show the world what they have done to her son. When the news was all over the world Rosa Parks did what she did, as well for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
That’s not true either.
We will Neva 2018
Rest Mrs. Rosa Parks.
Here in 2023 we have to remind our children how America Really is
بطلة 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️
Oh lord I want you to help me. Help me on my way.
Holy Spirit lead me
Wow!!!
Hear hear....
Equal protection of human rights
Rosa parks skin is awesome
If I was here I would have Been like no way fool then when he said I’ll call the police I would be like FINE PUT ME IN JAIL FOR SITTING ON A PUBLIC BUS!
Rosa parks was a true hero
❤❤❤❤❤
Mama Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks was a very attractive woman in her younger years ...wow
Jermaine Van briesies She aged gracefully. Something about her still looked youthful even in old age.
Yes she was
Just never have figured out why in our history and in the history of the world, just because the color of your skin, was frowned upon etc...like we have any choice what color our skin is when we are born....Always remember, we are ALL apart of the same race...the human race.
Well she was not the only one who did not want to move two weeks before dat Mary Smith went to jail to
I did not know that.
