Rosa Parks

Je m’appelle Rosa Parks et j’ai dit non à la discrimination raciale

Le 1er décembre 1955, Rosa Parks (1913 – 2005) refuse de laisser sa place à un Blanc dans l’autobus qui la ramène chez elle. De cet acte de désobéissance s’ensuivra un boycott de la compagnie de bus de 381 jours par la communauté Noire. Le 13 novembre 1956, la Cour suprême cassera les lois ségrégationnistes dans les bus, les déclarant anticonstitutionnelles. Rosa Parks deviendra une figure emblématique de la lutte contre la ségrégation raciale, ce qui lui vaudra le surnom de “mère des droits civiques” (mother of civils rights).
