Rosa Lee Parks the pioneer of the civil rights movement in United States leave the subtle world at the age of 92. Parks the candle of the civil rights activism and counter ideal of Sir Martin Luther King Jnr, better known for her strong and pre-determined initiation of the civil rights movement to eliminate the racial discrimination in the States. Being black woman she once refused to grant bus seat to the white man in a bus she was traveling in, she was caught by police and fined. Her refusal to give up her bus seat to a white man started the US civil rights movement in the mid 1950s. Her attempt to eliminate the racial discrimination was supported by the Martin Luther King Jnr. Since then she started her voice against the racial discrimination and boycott the bus in the United States.

Parks was forty-two, when she made history in civil rights causation. The history made upon this circumstance when she was sitting on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama, one day in 1955 a white man demanded her seat. Mrs Parks refused, defying the rules which required blacks to give up their seats to whites. She was arrested and fined (made to pay some money as a punishment). Her treatment triggered a three hundred and eighty one day boycott of the bus system and the people decided not to use the buses as a form of protest, organized by the Reverend Martin Luther King Junior. The Montgomery bus boycott marked the birth of the civil rights movement in the United States.
After the years of her refusal and starting the movement against racial discrimination Parks recalled his days with a reporter:
ROSA LEE PARKS:
"The driver said that if I refused to leave the seat, he would have to call the police and I told him just call the police, which he did and when they came, they placed me under arrest."
REPORTER:
"Wasn't that a pretty frightening thing, to be arrested in Montgomery, Alabama?"
ROSA LEE PARKS:
"No, I wasn't afraid at all."
REPORTER:
"You weren't frightened, why weren't you frightened?"
ROSA LEE PARKS:
"I don't know why I wasn't, but I didn't feel afraid. I had decided that I would have to know once and for all what rights I had as a human being and a citizen, even in Montgomery, Alabama."
Her public stance made her a symbol of the civil rights movement. She is an ideal icon for similar activists around the world. Her diligent efforts in the social service also gathered a good credit as upon her retirement, Mrs Parks devoted her time to an institute she and her husband founded, aimed at developing leadership among young people. Rosa Parks will be remembered for the way her quiet determination in the face of injustice helped change America.
