00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:07,879
Hi, I'm Ellen DeGeneres, and today we're going back in the past to meet the heroine, Rose of Cards.

2
00:00:08,439 --> 00:00:10,640
And now, a short video.

3
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,260
I don't know why we're bothering with all this reading and arithmetic,

4
00:00:25,739 --> 00:00:27,679
when all we're gonna end up doing for jobs is

5
00:00:27,679 --> 00:00:30,879
Washing somebody's clothes and wiping their baby's snotty noses.

6
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,500
Does anybody want to answer Rowena's question?

7
00:00:39,409 --> 00:00:41,670
Rosa, why do we bother?

8
00:00:44,590 --> 00:00:48,270
We bother so we can be equal to everybody else.

9
00:00:48,549 --> 00:00:50,229
We're not equal to everybody else.

10
00:00:50,509 --> 00:00:51,929
We're not equal to white folks.

11
00:00:55,329 --> 00:00:59,929
I was raised to believe if I put my mind to it, I could do whatever I wanted as well.

12
00:00:59,929 --> 00:01:06,930
Outside, no one's better than me. No man, no woman, black or white. No one.

13
00:01:06,930 --> 00:01:07,930
If white folks say...

14
00:01:07,930 --> 00:01:12,930
No one. A person take everything from you, even your life, but he can't take your dignity.

15
00:01:12,930 --> 00:01:18,930
Can't nobody take that from you but me. That's what my grandpa would tell me, and I believe him.

16
00:01:20,930 --> 00:01:28,930
If you learn nothing else at Mrs. White's school, may the blessed Lord help you remember what Rosa just taught you.

17
00:01:29,930 --> 00:01:54,930
And now he's with us, Rosa Parks!

18
00:01:54,930 --> 00:01:59,870
Who are we with today?

19
00:01:59,870 --> 00:02:01,870
Me too, me too!

20
00:02:01,870 --> 00:02:04,870
Well, let's start with the interview, okay?

21
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:05,870
Okay.

22
00:02:05,870 --> 00:02:07,870
So, tell me, how was your childhood?

23
00:02:07,870 --> 00:02:10,870
Oh, wait a minute. My childhood was very difficult.

24
00:02:10,870 --> 00:02:13,870
You know, I lived in Alabama, and there the black people...

25
00:02:13,870 --> 00:02:18,740
Were you black?

26
00:02:18,740 --> 00:02:20,740
Yes, I was black.

27
00:02:20,740 --> 00:02:22,740
Continue to tell me more about your childhood.

28
00:02:22,740 --> 00:02:28,740
Oh, when my parents got divorced, my brother and I went to the farm of grandma.

29
00:02:28,740 --> 00:02:32,740
And there we have still living like 6 years I think.

30
00:02:32,740 --> 00:02:36,740
Wow, did you go to school?

31
00:02:36,740 --> 00:02:42,740
Yes, when I was 11 years I entered in a school of girls.

32
00:02:42,740 --> 00:02:46,740
The school of girls was at 8 km from the farm.

33
00:02:46,740 --> 00:02:51,740
But I can't take the bus because it was only for white people.

34
00:02:52,740 --> 00:02:54,740
What about your family?

35
00:02:54,740 --> 00:02:59,740
When my mom gets sick I have to leave the school and prepare at home.

36
00:02:59,740 --> 00:03:07,740
Some days later I start working and I meet a man called Raymond, that is my husband.

37
00:03:07,740 --> 00:03:16,740
He was working at association of helping to the human rights, the black human rights.

38
00:03:16,740 --> 00:03:20,740
Tell me, that's incredible.

39
00:03:20,740 --> 00:03:25,740
Yes. Tell me, how did you become a heroine? Our heroine?

40
00:03:25,740 --> 00:03:32,740
Oh, that story. One day I get back home after working and I took the bus.

41
00:03:32,740 --> 00:03:38,740
I was sitting back with three other black men when a white man appears.

42
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:47,740
The bus driver told me to leave the place to the white man and I refused and they arrested me.

43
00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:50,379
Oh my god! And did you go to jail?

44
00:03:50,379 --> 00:03:57,979
Yes, I was there for two years and when I left the jail I started claiming the black human rights.

45
00:03:57,979 --> 00:03:59,340
And you got it, right?

46
00:03:59,340 --> 00:04:02,300
Yes, I told me the president and he understood me.

47
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:06,620
Obviously, if it was Obama, obviously, the president.

48
00:04:09,259 --> 00:04:11,740
That was a great achievement, yeah?

49
00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:16,060
I hope I'll see you again.

50
00:04:16,060 --> 00:04:16,939
Yes, of course.

51
00:04:16,939 --> 00:04:43,100
bye and next day we will have Kim Kardashian in the alien soul don't miss it
