Rosa Parks and Harriet Tubman were both alive for a brief period in 1913
The fight to end racial inequality in the US is still going strong today. Although African-Americans have achieved a lot, they are still regularly subjected to acts of racism. This does not mean that they have stopped working to make the country a better place.
Two of the most influential figures in this fight against injustice were Harriet Tubman and Rosa Parks, and although they belong to different generations, they shared a brief time on this Earth. Parks was born in February 1913, and Tubman died only a month later.
