Rosa Parks Word Search
The Rosa Parks word search has forty names, places and steps from her life: born McCauley in Tuskegee, a seamstress and NAACP secretary in Montgomery, the Cleveland Avenue bus and its driver, James Blake, the carpool that kept the boycott going, and the office of Conyers in Detroit.
On December 1, 1955, after a day's work at a department store, Parks refused to give up her seat to a white passenger when the driver ordered it. She was arrested, fingerprinted and fined ten dollars plus four in court costs. Her trial was held on December 5, the day Black riders began staying off the city buses. Jo Ann Robinson of the Women's Political Council had run off thousands of flyers on a mimeograph overnight, and E. D. Nixon had already bailed Parks out of jail.
Parks was not the first to refuse. Claudette Colvin, fifteen, had done the same in March of that year, and she became a plaintiff in Browder v. Gayle, the case that ended bus segregation in Montgomery once the Supreme Court affirmed the ruling in 1956. The boycott lasted 381 days. People said Parks had been tired that evening, and in her autobiography she answered that the only tired she was, was tired of giving in. When she died in 2005 she lay in honor in the Capitol Rotunda, the first woman to do so.
