Dear Susan,
Please forward this message to students of my history class.
Besides the life story of Rosa Parks in the textbook, the students are also required to read the
passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.
Ted Hume
The early experiences of Rosa Parks(1913-2005), long known as the “mother of the civil rights
movement, ”were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time. The black
woman, however, turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused
to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. “Bsitting down, ”remarked John Lewis,
“she was standing up for all Americans. ”
Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal
of Freedom(1996)and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).
Parks died on Oct. 24, 2005. ASt. Paul AM. E Church in Montgomery, a large crowd
including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life. Rice said she and others,
who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention, might not have
realized her impact(影响)on their lives, “but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks,
I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State. ”
After her casket(灵柩)was placed at the Capitol, U. S. President Bush, members of Congress
and ordinary Americans paid their respects. In American history Parks is the first woman to
lie in state at the Capitol, a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.
