Words by Quinn Bingham and Mariah Sands, Edited by Sophia NguyenRosa Parks was born on February 4th, 1913. She never understood why people of color were never treated with as much respect as white people. If a white person wanted to sit where a black person was originally seated, they would have to give up there seat and go to the back. When Rosa Parks was told to give up seat to a white man she refused. She was shamed and thrown in jail. This all started on December 1, 1955. Back then segregation was a existed. Segregation is when people are separated because of there skin color! Many lawyers worked on the case. Eventually, Rosa was pardoned and freed from jail. Unfortunately, that wasn't the end of segregation. Rosa Parks sadly, died on October 24, 2005, but was and will always be remembered to this very day.

In 1951, schools were segregated. Oliver Brown and many others filed a suit against segregation in school. The district court said that separate was equal, but three years later in 1954, more men fought together, and those cases, became one single.On May 7, 1954, the case went to the Supreme Court. The Board of Education people lawyers said separate was equal. But in the end, Chief Justice Earl Warren said that separate could not be, or made to be equal. They voted 9 to 0. The planktons had won the case! The schools across the country had to change their racial segregation laws.

Words by Mariah Sands, Edited by Sophia NguyenOn October 17,1956 in Decatur AL, a little girl named Mae Jemison was born. She was born after slavery had been demolished but segregation was still a thing. Segregation was when people were separated because of their race (skin color.) When Mae was three, her family moved to Chicago, Illinois for better education. Mae had dreamed of being a doctor or scientist, so she was always in her school library studying science. (especially astronomy) When Mae returned to the United States, in 1985 she decided to apply for a NASA astronaut training program, and was chosen out of the two thousand people that attempted to be applied. She was the first female African American to go to space in 1992. Mae is still alive today and works hard.
