Rosa Parks was an famous African-American who fought for civil rights. In 1955, she led the Montgomery Bus Boycott by refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger, which was a violation rules at the time. This act became an important part of the American Civil Rights Movement for black people. Parks was later seen as a key figure in the fight for racial equality. It's important to teach preschoolers about Rosa Parks during the black history month because it gives you a chance to:

- Promote diversity and inclusion: At this age, children are still figuring out what they think and feel about race and diversity. Learning about Rosa Parks can help them see things from a more diverse and inclusive point of view.

- Encourage being brave and standing up for what's right. Rosa Parks' act of civil disobedience is an inspiring example of being brave and standing up for what's right, and can serve as a good example for preschoolers.

- Teach the value of history. Telling preschoolers about important historical figures like Rosa Parks can help them learn more about history and how people can change the world.

- Foster empathy and understanding: When preschoolers learn about the challenges and struggles African Americans went through during the Civil Rights Movement, they can develop a deeper appreciation for differences and a better understanding of how other people feel.

- Introduce the ideas of fairness and justice. Rosa Parks's story shows how important fairness and justice are, and it can help preschoolers learn about these important values.
