Rosa Parks continued to be involved in the black issue.

She continued to help black people since she was a member of NAACP and opened an Institute for self development.

Since they both lost their job, Rosa Parks and her husband moved to Detroit in 1957. They struggled financially for the next eight years, until the United States of America congressional representative John F. Conyers hired Rosa as an administrative assistant, a position she held until 1988, when she retired.

She was a member of NAACP and SCLC (Southern Christian Leadership Conference) founded by Martin Luther King. She took part in several marches and demonstrations like the march of Selma in Alabama in 1965.

In the 80’s she fought against the apartheid in South Africa (Free South Africa Movement).

After her husband death in 1987, she founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self-Development in Detroit, which purpose is to motivate and direct youth not targeted by other programs to achieve their highest potential and to sponsor an annual summer program, called Pathways to Freedom. The program enables young people from many different ethnic backgrounds to tour the country in buses, under adult supervision, and learn the history of their country and of the civil rights movement. She also took part in the Million Men March in October 1995 in Washington D-C which gathered over than one million afro-Americans.
