In her autobiography, Rosa Parks: My Story, she stressed being work weary had nothing to do with remaining seated. "The only tired I was was tired of giving in." The "mother of the civil rights movement" died, aged 92, at her home in Detroit of natural causes. On December 1, 1955, Parks was jailed and fined $US14 for refusing to give up her seat in the middle of the bus to a white man. Shir'Zan Madam Rosa Parks Front rows were for whites only and blacks had to leave their seats in other rows when all front-row seats were taken and whites were left standing. Speaking in 1992, she said history too often maintained "that my feet were hurting and I didn't know why I refused to stand up when they told me. But the real reason of my not standing up was I felt that I had a right to be treated as any other passenger. We had endured that kind of treatment for too long." iranian.ws
