Summer Learning Journey
Week 4.
Day 2: Girl Power
For this activity, we would like you to chose one role model and tell us all about them. What makes them a role model? They can be people you know personally, people you have seen on television or the internet, people you have heard on the radio or people you have heard about from a friend or family member. You do not have to know them personally. On your blog, tell us about your chosen role model. Please be sure to tell us why you think they are a role model.
In he 1950's to the 1960's black men an women were forced to be seperated by everyone else. At this time, there were laws that kept black and white people seperated - they went to different schools,used different toilets and even sat in different parts of the bus. They ate in different areas of a restaurant. This was called segregation. With these type of laws there were many protests against them. Joining these protests was an African American women named Rosa Parks. In 1955 Rosa Parks boarded a bus in Alabama and because of segregation all the seats that were meant for the black people were taken up so she decided she would sit in the white section of the bus. But on one of the stops she refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white passenger. This brave action that Rosa Parks did, made history and changed the way that African Americans (people of colour) got treated in America. What Rosa Parks did put every other black advicater out of the books. she did what no other girl/lady would ever think of doing! Rosa Parks changed the way Americans and every other country think about treating others. Rosa Parks is a role model because she was an independent women, speaker for her people and is brave. She was an African American civil rights activist, when Rosa Parks did not give her seat up in Alabama she showed extreme bravery courage and then changed the segregation is today and forever!
