Famous: Baroness Amos, Leader of the Lords, first black female cabinet minister. Arrived from Guyana aged 8 with nothing to her name. Worked her way up through education. Intelligent, articulate and well dressed.

Not famous: my mother. Bought me up alone while holding down a full time job. Travelled the world with me as I grew up. Intelligent, hardworking, loving and fearless.

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4, 1913 ? October 24, 2005) was an African American civil rights activist and seamstress whom the U.S. Congress dubbed the "Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement".

Parks is famous for her refusal on December 1, 1955 to obey bus driver James Blake's demand that she relinquish her seat to a white man. Her subsequent arrest and trial for this act of civil disobedience triggered the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the largest and most successful mass movements against racial segregation in history, and launched Martin Luther King, Jr., one of the organizers of the boycott, to the forefront of the civil rights movement. Her role in American history earned her an iconic status in American culture, and her actions have left an enduring legacy for civil rights movements around the world.
