Rosa Parks

She told people to not go on the bus in 1956. She lived in Montgomery, Alabama. The reason Rosa Parks was important was because people did love her. Well some people did. She was wonderful.

I chose this word because it describes Rosa Parks. She's my hero because she told people to not go on the bus when she was treated unfairly.
