I do not think so. Rosa Parks was often seen at protests giving speeches but was never part of the violence. The looting and the police brutality would be something she would not support. She wanted equal rights, but she did not want people to lose things from this. Some of the stores that people looted were African Americans.
Why would you want to steal from the people we are trying to support and get them to earn their rights? Rosa Parks would be extremely upset that this is happening and would probably make a speech showing that she is extremely upset with some of the behaviors taking place.
This is a time we need to all come together, not tear each other down. If Rosa Parks were still alive, she would most definitely be at a rally to show her support to her community. Parks was often found speaking at rallies and at the heart of the rallies. The rallies that are going on today for BLM are located all over the US, Rosa Parks would be traveling to the biggest rallies and spreading awareness about the situations going on. She would probably be on some sort of board to show her appreciation and show that changes need to happen.
Although at times these protests did get out of hand, such as the looting and robbing innocent businesses, Rosa Parks would support most of it.

Rosa Parks would support these women and would be super proud of these women for starting a movement that is going to better the lives of many people.
Rosa Parks was all for women being in charge. She always thought that women did not have a fair say in anything and she wanted more than ever for people to believe in women. Many women did not hold offices and become leaders of anything during this time. Rosa Parks would be so happy to see that her hard work has paid off. There are so many African Americans who have started different movements and held so many different offices.
These people continue to show others that a woman is just as important as a male. Everyone needs to have their own rights and if that means we have to start a movement or protest, then we will do it. Rosa Parks will always be supporting the movements for not only African Americans, but any group of people who do not have their rights they deserve.
Even though these movements start from either people losing their rights or even someone losing their life. George Floyd was an African American citizen who lost his life due to police brutality. He was held pinned on the ground for a long period of time. This unfortunately caused him to lose his life. Even though George Floyd had a criminal history for many things, he should not have been held and lost his life the way he did.
