This image of Rosa Parks is her mug shot after going to jail yet again, initially it has a negative connotation to it. She has a sort of pissed off look on her face and not a whole lot of emotion in her eyes. Not to mention the fact that she is looked at as such an icon for justice and equality, a jail just is not a place for a person of Park's perseverance and faith.
The reason I believe Rosa Parks is the personification of what it meant to be resilient and be strong is because her faith was so strong in faith in God. By knowing God would bring her out of any situation she always had a sense of fearlessness which I believe is why she is so successful in her life.
Having a strength and base in something that you feel is bigger than yourself is very important and will take you very far. Whether that be God or not having that outlet often helps us feel more stable in everything that we do.
"I want to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free. I still believe there can be a day when we all have true freedom, a day when we can get along regardless of race.This is not a dream. It is alive within the ability of us all."-Rosa Parks
