The Work Of Rosa Parks
On December 1, 1995 Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus. This took place in Montgomery, Alabama. She gets on the bus to go home, tired from a long day at work. Rosa parks sits in the middle section of the bus. She is allowed to sit there if no whites are standing. The bus starts to get full after a few stops. The bus driver then tells all the African Americans to go to the back of the bus so the white people can sit. All the African Americans get up and go to the back of the bus but Rosa Parks stays seated. Rosa parks has had enough of the segregation going on. She is an activist and has been fighting for civil rights for more than 10 years. She is not one to break the rules though. The bus driver demands for her to move, she
decides not to. She says no, the bus driver gets up leaves the bus and comes back with a policeman. The policeman then arrests her for violating the segregation law. After that incident happened there was a bus boycott. eventually about one year later the Supreme court rules, November 13, 1956 the Montgomery’s segregation laws are unconstitutional.
