Peace Heros

I think the most inspirational peace hero is Rosa Parks because of her attitude and the way she talked, spoke out on how we were human beings and we should be treated as such, spoke about everyone being equals, and things like skin color didn’t matter Parks was arrested on December 1st, 1955 for refusing to stand up on the orders of the bus driver, after the white seats had been occupied in the front. Parks was not in the front of the bus as many people have written and spoken that she was. She took a seat that was just back of where the white people were sitting, in fact, the last seat. A man was next to the window, and I took an aisle seat and there were two women across. She went on undisturbed until about the second or third stop when some white people boarded the bus and left one man standing. And when the driver noticed him standing, he told her to stand up and let him have those seats. He referred to them as front seats. And when the other three people, after some hesitancy, stood up, he wanted to know if she was going to stand up, and she said no. The bus driver said that he would have her arrested, and she said he may do that and he did. She was arrested. Now how was that fair? That’s how it was in those times and Rosa Parks was the first one to stand up for that. Parks is the most inspirational peace hero to me because she lend following her heart and for what’s right. It takes a lot to stand up, and she did, suffering consequences but it impacted the world and made a change. This was one of the first steps in equality.
Another motivational peace hero is Marten Luther King Jr because of his amazing work in civil rights. He’s my number two because of all his motivational quotes and speeches. One of his well known quotes is “All I'm saying is simply this, that all life is interrelated, that somehow we're caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly. For some strange reason, I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. You can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.” This relates to people and people treating others good because in the end it comes back to you.
My next favorite inspirational peace hero is Nelson Mandela because of his quote “For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” Mandela was a firm believer in freedom and that’s inspiring. I feel that people should lead by example and that’s what he does and that’s leading by freedom and fighting for well deserved rights.
