Today is Rosa Parks' birthday. The "mother of the civil rights movement" would be turning 103.
Parks fought against segregation and the Jim Crow Laws of the time, and became a symbol of the civil rights movement in the 1950s.
Take a look at her history-making legacy.
Parks was a seamstress by trade, but was also active in the civil rights efforts starting in the '40s.
She joined the NAACP in 1943 and served as branch secretary for over a decade.
During her role as an lifelong activist, she pushed for voter registration, supported black victims of violence, and fought for women's rights.
