Rosa Parks was born on February 4th, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama, United States. She was an American citizen, and she moved to Detroit because of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
She had several jobs: dressmaker, chambermaid, and nurse's aide; but from 1955 onwards she fought for civic rights.
Her life came to an end on October 24th, 2005, in Detroit, Michigan.
Remarks about the translation
"passé simple", "passé composé" and "présent de l'indicatif" have been used side by side in this text, with no good reason. So I chose to use the preterite which sticks best to the facts: (1) it's a kind of short biography, (2) all facts happened in the past.
