Human rights heroes

In year 10 social studies, I have been learning about human rights and human right heroes.

I chose Rosa Parks to be one of my human rights heroes because she initiated the civil rights movements.

Parks' prominence in the community and her willingness to become a controversial figure inspired the black community to boycott the Montgomery buses for over a year, the first major direct action campaign of the post-war civil rights movement.
