Rosa Park Claudia Dablanca, Tamer El Nagare and Daniel Fernández My name is Rosa Parks, I was born on 4th February 1913 and died on October 24th 2005. I have seen a lot of famous figures who have been making autobiographies about their lives. I thought it would be a great idea to talk about mine. I was the daughter of a carpenter and a teacher from the state of Alabama, USA. As you may have noticed, my family was not from such a high class and because of that I had to fight everything I wanted in my life. I started sewing when I was six years old and during my childhood I studied in two different places. I had to quit because my mother and grandmother became ill and I had to take care of them. Throughout my life the United States experienced street protests, demonstrations, rioting, civil unrest, anti-war protests and a cultural revolution. African American youth protested following victories in the courts regarding civil rights with street protests. Also, there was an increase in the number of young people who began to revolt against the social norms. There was huge inequality between men and women during my life, protests began, and a new movement was created, Women's Liberation Movement, it grew in size and power, gained much media attention, and, by 1968, replaced the Civil Rights Movement as the U.S main social revolution.
