A question about Rosa Parks?

Question

What were Rosa Parks other great accomplishments, other then refusing to give up her seat to a white man? If you can please just give me a list of everything that she has to done to impact or change society, that would be great. Thanx

Answer 1

She did more than refuse her seat to a white man... that accomplishment alone should be enough for whatever the question is that you are trying to answer.
She began the bus boycott and has been an advocate and leader for the black community ever since that incident.
She even encouraged female rights.

Answer 2

She didn't do too much more. Here is a little on her you might want to use if writting an essay. Rosa Parks,Pioneer of Civil Rights. She led a boycott of the bus system in Montogomery,Alabama.

Also, Google Rosa Parks.

Did you know that when she died at age 92 she was the first woman in history to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda? Before her, only presidents had that honor.

Harry Belafonte had this to say:

AMY GOODMAN: You also knew Rosa Parks.

HARRY BELAFONTE: Yes, I knew her.

AMY GOODMAN: What about her legacy? One of the things the corporate media said when she died, though they did pay a lot of attention, they made the point that she was no troublemaker. But it looks like her history shows the very opposite. She was a troublemaker from way back, committing her life to equality, against segregation.

HARRY BELAFONTE: She never stopped being a troublemaker. But it is now to this country's best interest, in order to further hide its villainy, to reach out and to somehow blur those who were very revolutionary and those who, in the end, turned out to be huge moral, as well as social, forces in our time, to lay claim to them, because it helps hide who they are and what they do.
