- In 1992, Parks wrote her autobiography ‘Rosa Parks: My Story’ which narrates the incidents leading up to her decision not to give up her seat in the bus. A few years later, she published her memoir ‘Quiet Strength.’ She also co-founded the ‘Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development’ with Elaine Eason Steele in 1987. It was an institute built with an aim to introduce young people to important civil rights and Underground Railroad sites.
- During the 1980s, she re-associated herself with the civil rights and educational endeavors. With the little money that she had, she co-founded the ‘Rosa L. Parks Scholarship Foundation’ for college-bound high school seniors. She worked at the position for almost 23 years. Although she became famous, Parks had to leave for Virginia in 1957 as she could not keep her job due to sanctions used against activists. She worked as a hostess in an inn, located in a historical black college.
