For the children attending school, there was busing for the white children to their school, but the black children were required to walk to another school.
This included public restrooms, drinking fountains, education and transportation. Rosa’s childhood was greatly influenced by the Jim Crow laws of the South, which segregated white people from black people in almost every part of their daily lives. She began laboratory school for her secondary education, but never completed it because she was forced to drop out to care for her ailing grandmother. At age eleven she attended the Industrial School for Girls in Montgomery, where she took various vocational and academic courses. Before that, she was home schooled by her mother. Rosa did not attend a public school until the age of eleven. Her childhood in Montgomery helped her to develop strong roots in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. There Rosa spent the rest of her childhood on her grandparents’ farm. Her parents eventually separated and her mother took her and her brother and moved to Pine Level, a town adjacent to Montgomery, Alabama. In her younger years she was sick much of the time, and as a result, was a small child. Her father was employed as a carpenter and her mother as a teacher. On February 4, 1913, Rosa Louise McCauley was born in Tuskegee, Alabama to parents James McCauley and Leona Edwards. # Rosa Parks' Early Life and Childhood # Early Years
