“GRACE UNDER PRESSURE”
             In the nineteen sixties there was an uproar of African
             American leaders. This was known as the civil rights movement.
             There were many leaders in this movement that have forever
             changed the society that we live in today. They spoke out
             against the suppression of the African American. This was
             known as the civil rights movement. Rosa Parks stood up to the
             white owners of the bus transportation system. Even though she

             criticism and pressure stop them. They kept going.
             Rosa Park was born in Tuskegee, Alabama. She worked as a
             seamstress and always took the bus home. Parks was a regular
             woman. On December 1, 1955, her life was changed dramatically.
