Rosa Parks & Martin Luther King

She sat on the bus, in a seat of her choice She did not move, when she heard a white voice She knew the law, but she did not care She had a right, to be treated fair

She was arrested, and fined for her act But she did not regret, she did not retract She sparked a movement, of boycott and protest She inspired a leader, named Martin Luther King

She fought for justice, with courage and grace She challenged the system, of racial disgrace She became a symbol, of dignity and strength She changed the world, with her peaceful resistance
