Rosa Parks.
She was a black woman who refused to give up her seat for a white man, She got arrested and later executed... Did she do this for faith/Religion... Like Martin Luther King??
Help me pleasE!!

Rosa Parks wasn't executed, get your facts right.

She didn't do it for religion, she did it because she was tired of blacks being treated as second class citizens and stood up for herself.

She did it to make a stand against white supremacy. Most white American racists are too bloody stupid to realise that the whole human race started in Africa so whether you are as black as the Ace of Spades, white Anglo Saxon or any other (providing you are human) then if you go back far enough we all have the same ancestors.

No, and nor did Martin Luther King. They both did it in the name of equality. Religion has nothing to do with it. Nor was she executed - she died at her home 3 years ago. I can't imagine where you get your information from.
