Once upon a time, in a place called Alabama, lived a woman named Rosa Parks. She was kind, brave, and believed in fairness.
Unfair Rules:
Back then, there were unfair rules that made black people sit at the back of the bus and give up their seats to white people. Rosa thought these rules were wrong.
The Bus Ride:
One day, Rosa got on a bus after a long day at work. She sat in a seat in the "black section." As the bus filled up, the driver told Rosa to give her seat to a white man. Rosa refused.
Standing Up:
When Rosa refused to give up her seat, the bus driver called the police. Rosa was arrested and taken to jail. She was very scared but knew she was doing the right thing.
The Protest:
Rosa's brave act inspired many people. A group called the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) and a young leader named Martin Luther King Jr. organized a bus boycott. For over a year, black people refused to ride the buses to protest the unfair rules.
Victory:
The bus boycott was successful! The Supreme Court ruled that segregation on public buses was illegal. Rosa's bravery helped change the laws and made the buses fair for everyone.
Legacy:
Rosa Parks became known as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement." She showed everyone that one person's courage can inspire others to fight for justice and equality.
Moral:
Rosa Parks' story teaches us that standing up for what is
right, even when it's
difficult, can make a big difference. She showed us that everyone deserves to
be treated fairly.
