Who Am I

I was born in Tuskegee Alabama in the year 1913. On December 1st 1955 when coming home from my job as a seamstress in a department store I refused to give up my seat to a white man while on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. I was arrested, and thrown in a jail. This started a 381 day bus boycott led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and helped to inspire civil-rights activities around America.

The answer is Rosa Parks. The photo in the entry was of Rosa in 1955 and is from the Wiki entry on her life. She was a courageous woman for who all of us could learn something. She was a hero.
