where did rosa parks grow up

Rosa Parks grew up primarily in Pine Level, Alabama , a small rural town southeast of Montgomery.

Where she was born

Rosa Parks was born Rosa Louise McCauley on February 4, 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama. Her parents were James McCauley, a carpenter and stonemason, and Leona Edwards, a teacher.

Where she spent her childhood

After her parents separated when she was very young, Rosa moved with her mother and younger brother to Pine Level , where they lived on a farm owned by her maternal grandparents, Rose and Sylvester Edwards. She attended the local rural school in Pine Level until age eleven, which is why biographers and historians describe Pine Level as the place where she was “reared and educated.”
