I met her when I was in elementary school. I did an essay in her and my aunt brought me to her friend's house, who related to Parks. She was a lovely, wonderful woman. She was so happy to listen to me tell her about the essay I did on her, like she didn't live through it lmbo! She was patient and listened to my endless rambling! Loved her so much!!

This is actually so much more inspiring than the original story. I'm in a minority group, not a person of color but a different minority, and have suffered so much. I constantly feel this tired edge-of-giving-up feeling but continue in the hope that the babies born into this minority now will never know the pain I'm feeling. I worry that my lack of formal higher education will make it impossible to be heard in today's college-driven world. But Parks didn't even get the full k-12. I worry that the nobody listening now means nobody will ever listen, yet that's what happened to Parks. I worry that company's refusal to hire me will lead me to unending poverty, and it might, but that didn't define Parks. I always hoped to be the MLK of my minority, but maybe I'll be a Rosa Parks instead. And hopefully, like her, I'll live to see the impact.

People like Rosa Parks are almost hard to picture as real people. Such an important historical figure, who was involved with so many important events: she featured heavily in my history class in ireland when learning about the civil rights movement in the states. Yet she was alive during my lifetime (until i was 20!). Some people end up with that haze of "historical figure" that makes them seem much more distant in history because they so immediately effected it. This was a good video, glad I'm finally working through this channel.

@J winchell That is not what systemic racism means... It means you have racial biases in terms of housing, income, availability of jobs, etc, so the total system. This isn't (necessarily) due to laws*, can just be because there is prejudice against people of certain race. For example, it is harder for blacks to get a job, even if they have the same credentials as a white person, same goes for getting into college, for getting a nice house, etc... Statistics don't lie, you can claim white Christian men are victims but that is just factually unsupportable. And pretty laughable too, every president in American history has been a Christian man, only one has been non-white. The majority of politicians are white, christian and men... The notion that white Christian men are somehow the victims of systemic racism in the US is ludicrous... *Although the Republican party is a big fan of passing laws that target blacks in Republican controlled states. Especially when it comes to ways to suppress black voters.

One of the things I always found odd in the racism of Jim Crow was the bus designations. In... at least the Navy, possibly the rest of the military, the back of a transport, such as buses, the back of the bus is for officers and rank goes down as you go forward. On school buses the upperclassmen usually dominate the back of the bus with it getting younger as you go forward. The racists somehow flipped the status of seating on its ear... then again if they were logical and consistent, they wouldn't be racist

This was an excellent choice. I grew up with her story taught in schools, but I never got the correct story with the rose colored glasses taken off. You should really do more of these types documentaries especially in the time that we're living in now. As a Caucasian woman I see even now black people suffer. And I live in a predominantly 95% black population but I it didn't grew up that way. And I understand how they have so much hatred and saying that we are privileged. I've never experienced anybody being racist in my family even my grandmother never was they racist to anybody. She felt like everybody was the same because she grew up poor and her family had to do everything they could just to make ends meet. She always said we were too poor to even know that a depression was happening. So yes we need more stories about this so we have an understanding of why black people feel the way they do. And I say black people because we're all people. I don't understand why just because somebody's black they have to be separate and be African-American we're all Americans we're all Europeans we're all something and we all are the same on the inside. So great job. 🙌

What?? After Rosa Parks helped kick-start the whole Civil Rights movement and was basically the martyr you all needed, those Civil Rights guys wouldn't give her or Raymond a job?? And said "This isn't work for women"??? You all are so ungrateful! My girl suffered for this cause and you couldn't even give her a job so she afford medicine for stomach ulcers??

Rosa Parks was even mentioned by Michael Jackson in his HIStory album! That's in the track "HIStory", from 6:05 to 6:10 and as it says, "March 17, 1955, Rosa Parks refuses to give her bus seat to a white passenger." ... And it's read by a more dominant male voice - it stands out enough to remember it.
