Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was born this day, February 4, in 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama. Today, in celebration of her 108th birthday, we’re taking a look back at the extraordinary life of Rosa Parks.
The Civil Rights activist is most known for refusing to give her seat on a bus to a white passenger, sparking a years-long boycott of public transportation in Montgomery, Alabama.
Before her protest on the bus, Mrs. Parks was involved with the Civil Rights Movement, having joined the local Montgomery chapter of the NAACP in 1943.
“Over the years, I have been rebelling against second-class citizenship. It didn’t begin when I was arrested,” she noted in interviews.
