Person/Expert you admire

In history there is a very long list of people worthy of admiration, but in this moments, i think in Rosa Parks. Her birth name is Rosa Louise McCauley. She was born on February 4th, 1913, in Alabama and was a very importan person in Civil rights movement in the United States

On December 1, 1955, she refused to give the seat to a white man, because of this action was taken to prison, and that was what motivated the movement to carry out peaceful protests.

Incident in the bus:

December 1, 1955, Rosa was 42 years old and was on a bus. In that moment of history, the public transport was divided in two parts, the first was for the white people, and the second part was for black people. A young white man got on the bus, the driver asked her to give him his seat, to that, she said "no". Was taken to prison for public disorder. Because of that, Martin Luther king organized protests for the civil rights.

I like her because I think it takes a lot of courage to do that she did.
