March is Women's History Month! Girl Power: Rosa Parks
By: Taryn Kanai
This month is Women's Appreciation Month, it's a month where we honor, study, and celebrate the women in the past that have done so much for us. Since its Women's Appreciation Month, I've decided to talk about Rosa Parks, a very inspiring and courageous woman. Rosa was born on the 4th of February in 1913. Rosa Parks is no ordinary person, she is most known as one of the first African-Americans to not surrender her seat to a white passenger. Since that happened the city that she lived in (Montgomery) had no choice but to lift the law requiring segregation on public buses. Now that you know a little about Rosa Parks, are you more appreciative of the power and influence of women and what it means to be a true risk taker? Are you prepared to stand up for what is right, like Rosa Parks did?
