If I could write a thank you note to an American Woman it would be to Rosa Parks. This is what I would say.
Dear Rosa Parks,
Thank you for being a hero. You stood up for quality for African Americans by refusing to give up your seat on the bus to a white man. Your courage inspired countless others to battle discrimination paving the way for a better life for African Americans.
Thank you for teaching me about self respect and making a difference.
Sincerely,
Myla Mead
