Rosa Parks Word Search, free printable PDF preview

Rosa Parks was a SEAMSTRESS on her way home from work on December 1, 1955, when she refused a bus DRIVER's order to give up her seat. Her ARREST set off the MONTGOMERY bus BOYCOTT, which lasted 381 days until the Supreme Court ruled bus SEGREGATION unconstitutional. This rosa parks word find gathers eleven words from that year and the life around it, from her birthplace in TUSKEGEE, ALABAMA, to the Congressional Gold MEDAL she received in 1999.

Frequently asked questions

Was she the first person to refuse?

No. Claudette Colvin, aged 15, had done the same in Montgomery nine months earlier. Parks was chosen as the test case because of her standing in the community and her COURAGE under questioning.

Is this rosa parks word search suitable for elementary school?

Grade 4 and up. SEGREGATION and MONTGOMERY are the long words; the story itself, and the EQUALITY it stood for, is taught in most Black History Month units.
