AUDIO SCRIPT

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was born on February 4th, 1913. She was an African-American human rights activist who was honored by the US Congress as the "mother of the modern human rights movement".

On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Parks, at the age of 42, turned down the offer of the bus driver called James Blake to make room for a white passenger. Although she was not the first to disobey the orders of racist proposals, Parks' action raised the movement of boycotting Montgomery buses.

Her actions became a symbol of the modern human rights movement, and Parks became an international icon representing the movement against racism. She organized and collaborated with a lot of civil rights leaders, including Martin Luther King, who won a Nobel Peace Prize. Although widely honored in later years, she also suffered for her act; she was fired from her job as a seamstress in a local department store, and received death threats for years afterwards.

From 1965 to 1988 she served as a secretary and receptionist to John Conyers, an African- American US Representative. She was also active in the Black Power movement and the support of political prisoners in the US.

She was voted as one of the 100 most influential figures of the 20th century by Time magazine. She died in October 24, 2005 at the age of 92.
