Poem About Rosa Parks By Zenia M.

1955 Civil Rights Leader, Rosa Parks

I refuse to give up my seat
My color is black, but that doesn't matter
The bus is not yours
It's for whites and blacks
I fight for equality because I'm black
You don't beat me!
I'm tired of eating in unfancy restaurants
while you sit in fancy ones
I deserve to drink the same water
Your skin doesn't matter
It's the way your personality is!
I'm black...I'm Black and I'm a proud woman!
Today my work has changed the world
