Sheila McCauley Keys is the seventh niece of civil rights icon Rosa Parks. She grew up in Detroit and was a constant presence in Rosa Parks' life, who became a mother figure and matriarch to her and her siblings after the passing of their parents. Keys has become an active voice in preserving her aunt's legacy, authoring the memoir "Our Auntie Rosa: The Family of Rosa Parks Remembers Her Life and Lessons."
