    This was how Holiday managed a more somewhat stable home life, but unfortunately her mother’s marriage didn’t last that long either. They got divorced a couple years later which left Billie and Sadie struggling all over again. Sadie often cleaned other people’s houses, but the money she earned couldn’t support her family. Of course, Holiday went to school when she was young, but she ended up skipping school later on. In fact, she and her mother had to go to court in order to account for her truancy. In January of 1925, she was taken to a facility called “House of Good Shepherd” that consisted of African American girls who are classified as “troubled”. She was only 9 years old when this took place, so that made her one of the youngest girls there. August of that same year, she was returned to her mother and life resumed itself like before. Donald Clark, who wrote a biography about Holiday called Billie Holiday: Wishing on the Moon, stated that she only returned back to her mother after she’d been sexually assaulted. Throughout her difficult early life, she considered music as an important aspect of her life. Two of the artists she would constantly sing along to was Louis Armstrong and Bessie…

    Rosa Parks

    • 792 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Racism and prejudice have been dominant issues in the United States for many years. Being such a major issue is society, racism is also a major theme in one of the best pieces of American Literature, To Kill A Mockingbird. People, particularly African Americans, have been denied basic human rights such as getting a fair trial, eating in a certain restaurant, or sitting in certain seats of public buses. However, in 1955 a woman named Rosa Parks took a stand, or more correctly took a seat, on a public bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She refused to give her seat to a white man and was arrested for not doing so. The reasons and consequences and the significance of her stand are comparable in many ways to Atticus Finch's stand in To Kill A Mockingbird. Rosa Parks worked for the equality of all people. She was elected secretary of the Montgomery branch of the National Advancement of Colored People, unsuccessfully attempted to vote many times to prove her point of discrimination, and had numerous encounters with bus drivers who discriminated against blacks. She was weary of the discrimination she faced due to the Jim Crow laws, which were laws were intended to prohibit "black[Americans] from mixing with white [Americans]" ("Jim Crow Laws"1). Also, due to the Jim Crow laws, blacks were required to give their seats to white passengers if there were no more empty seats. This is exactly what happened on December 1, 1955. On her way home from work, Rosa Parks refused to give her seat to a white man and was shortly arrested (National Women's Hall of Fame1). Even though she knew what the consequences were for refusing to leave her seat, she decided to take a stand against a wrong that was the norm in society. She knew that she would be arrested, yet she decided that she would try to make a change. Although her arrest would seem like she lost her battle, what followed would be her victory. Rosa Parks's stand was so significant that she is called the mother of the civil rights…
