INTRODUCTION

Rosa Parks is a hero worthy of being honored with her own stamp. During her lifetime from 1913 to 2005, Rosa Parks was a hero because of her fight for civil rights and being able to be treated the same and not different just because of her race.

Rosa parks was a civil rights leader who refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Her bravery led to nationwide efforts the the end of racial segregation.

This is why I think Rosa parks should be on a stamp,She didn't care that a white passenger was on the bus and told her to move because she was just tired of doing what people want her to do so she didn't not move. She just sat there which was very brave because no one would have just sat there they would have moved but not Rosa Parks, she stood up for her rights and she did get the bad part out of it but also the good.
