Rosa Parks, the Mother of the Civil Rights Movement, visited the Scholastic website in January and February 1997 to answer questions from students. During this monthlong project, students learned how Mrs. Parks sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott by not giving up her bus seat to a white passenger in 1955. And how, as a result of that brave act, in 1956 the Supreme Court ruled segregation on buses was illegal. Rosa Parks died on October 25, 2005 at age 92.
