  • Rosa Parks was a Seamstress

    Rosa Parks worked as a Seamstress

    Yes, it’s accurate that Rosa Parks worked as a seamstress. Here’s a breakdown of that aspect of her life:  

    • Occupation:
      • Rosa Parks worked as a seamstress at the Montgomery Fair department store.  
      • She also did sewing work for private clients.  
    • Significance:
      • Her occupation is relevant to her historical significance because she was returning home from work on December 1, 1955, when she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus, an act that sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott.  
      • It is important to understand that while she was a seamstress, she was also a very active member of the NAACP, and her refusal to give up her seat was a planned action, not just a result of being tired from work.  
      • The dress she was working on at the time of her arrest has also become an important historical artifact.  
    • It is important to remember that while her work as a seamstress was a part of her life, she is most well known for her civil rights activism.
