Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) and Rosa Parks (1913–2005) were two influential women who made significant contributions to the advancement of civil rights in the United States. Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, served as the First Lady from 1933 to 1945 and continued to be an influential figure in American politics and human rights after her husband's presidency. She played a pivotal role in the drafting of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and was a staunch advocate for civil rights, gender equality, and social justice.Rosa Parks, on the other hand, became an iconic symbol of the Civil Rights Movement through her act of defiance on a Montgomery bus in 1955. Parks' refusal to give up her seat to a white man and her subsequent arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a pivotal event in the fight against racial segregation. Parks' commitment to nonviolent resistance and her role in the boycott, which lasted over a year, showcased the power of collective action and inspired the broader struggle for racial equality.Although their roles and backgrounds differed, both Eleanor Roosevelt and Rosa Parks left indelible marks on the history of civil rights in the United States. Roosevelt's advocacy for universal human rights laid the foundation for future activism, while Parks' courageous stand and involvement in the Montgomery Bus Boycott exemplified the strength of individual acts in the pursuit of justice and equality. Together, they symbolize the diverse contributions of women in shaping the trajectory of civil rights movements in the mid-20th century.
