Rosa Parks was a civil rights hero because she refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white person. Back then it was a law that black people had to give up their seat to white people. So the bus driver, James F. Blake called the police and she was arrested. While the police man took her away she asked” Why do you push us around?” The officer answered” I don’t know, but a law’s a law, and you’re under arrest.”
Rosa Parks’ actions triggered the Montgomery bus boycott. For 382 days black people carpooled, traveled in cabs, and walked. For months dozens of public buses stood unused, hurting the company. On December 21, 1956 the law requiring segregation on public buses was removed.
This makes Rosa a hero to people of color because they were finally being treated fairly on the buses. I think she was courageous in not giving up her seat. I would consider her a role model because she teaches us that sometimes we need to take a stand.

I really like what you had to say in the end. Sometimes people to stand up for what's right. Too often we sit back and don't speak up. There's a saying that goes like this: What's popular is not always right, and what's right is not always popular.
Thanks.
This would never happen today because NOBODY (including me) likes to or does ride the bus
