Rosa Parks is an example of how unfair African-Americans were treated in the United States, and her fight in battles such as the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Civil Rights Movement drove a plethora of others to join her side to change the way “colored people” were seen in America. Even as a child, Rosa Parks was met with memories of prejudices against black people. “In one experience, Rosa’s grandfather stood in front of their house with a shotgun while Ku Klux Klan members marched down the street,”(“Rosa Parks Biography,” 2018).
