Are you new to Rosa Parks?
Here are some useful links:
Rosa Parks (born Rosa Louise McCauley on February 4, 1913), who on December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama sparked a mass bus boycott and became an international icon of the Civil Rights Movement by refusing to give up her seat to a white man. She continued her activism throughout her life.
Rosa Parks Environmental Science Magnet School is an elementary school located in the Berkeley Unified School District. The school features a science lab and school garden. Our dedicated, talented faculty and staff emphasize equity while maintaining high academic standards for our students.
We strive to build and maintain a nurturing community where all families are welcome. We honor culture and celebrate diversity. Our morning pledge comes from Rosa Parks herself:
“I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.”
