Rosa Parks: My Story

Rosa Parks
My story

The book called Rosa Parks: My Story is an awesome biography about Rosa parks. She tells us about her whole life from growing up to becoming a lady. Growing up Rosa Parks' grandfather told her that he doesn’t want to ever see her cleaning and cooking for white people, because she is worth more than that. When Rosa parks was growing up education and schooling was so different from education and schooling now. Back in those days when she was growing up kindergarten through sixth grade was all held in one small classroom. After Rosa was 25 she got married to Raymond parks. After they got married they both joined the NAACP.
