This question is a matter of opinion but I believe Rosa Parks was an extraordinary person because she didn't give her seat up to a white man even when the police got involved. Rosa Parks really is the "First lady of civil rights", and back then it's pretty obvious that women were not treated the same as men and for Rosa parks to be not just black but a women takes a lot of courage. She is a true american hero not because of helping the freedom movement but also because of her faith and hope she had in her self. People like her and Martin Luther King Jr. had growth mindsets because they never stopped no matter how rough the journey was.
