Civil Rights Pioneer Rosa Parks Dead at Age 92. Civil-rights pioneer Rosa Parks died today at age 92. Called the mother of the civil rights movement, Parks' refusal to give up a seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus to a white person in the segregated South is thought to be the beginning of the public fight for equal rights.
One such story is that of Elizabeth Jennings. Elizabeth Jennings was a young black schoolteacher who refused to disembark a public railroad car operated by a white conductor, just as Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus in 1955. Only Jennings stood her ground 100 years before Mrs. Parks conquered her brave moment. Thatâs almost 200 years ago to the date. Yesterday, Mrs. Parks wouldâve reached 101 years of age. On July 16, 1854 in New York City, a 24-year-old Jennings began her journey to the First Colored Congregational Church on Sixth Street where she was to perform as the organist.
