Rosa Parks received many accolades during her lifetime, including the NAACP's highest award. #Biography Subscribe for more Biography: [ Ссылка ] Delve deeper into Biography on our site: [ Ссылка ] Follow Biography for more surprising stories from fascinating lives: Facebook - [ Ссылка ] Instagram - [ Ссылка ] Twitter - [ Ссылка ] Biography.com captures the most gripping, surprising, and fascinating stories about famous people: The biggest break.
