Rosa Parks, 42, was a fine woman trying to get home after a really long day of christmas shopping. She was really tired and just wanted to get home. She got in the bus and payed one dime, she sat in the front of the black section. As the bus made stops for people to get in, more whites got on. Soon, there was no spots left for whites. As the law said, once white sections was filled blacks were forced to give up their seats to white people to sit. The bus drivers has the power to expand the black section or shrink it. The bus driver from the bus were Rosa was on, asked her to move back so white people could sit there. As every one knows, she refused to move. She was aked twice to move, but she just ignored him. The bus driver got really mad and called the cops. Once the cops came, they asked Rosa to move again. But she said no! The cops had no other way to do this, so they just arrested her. That same day, Decemebr 1st, E.D. Nixon, Rosa's friend, heard about Rosa's arrest. He thought her story was the BEST to start a boycott. He told Martin Luther King Jr. about it and they both thought it was a GREAT idea! Martin agreed and started the boycott as soon as he could.. The bus boycott was when black could not ride buses. That way, buses would lose money beacuse since blacks were mostly who rode them they wouldnt have any customers. Also, bus drivers would want more people to have more money, and if they didnt have that they would give up an dlet backs sit where ever they wanted. That was their plan! Most people thought it would only last a day, but it didnt. It lasted more than a year! From December 5th, 1955 through December 13th, 1956. It lasted more than a year for whites to give up and let the blacks sit where ever they wanted. Through out that year when blacks were refusing to ride the buses, alot of events oucurred. Like for example, a great civil right leader,Martin Luther King Jr., was trying his best to keep black's hopes up. He did many things, like the march in Washington. The march on Washongton was when all blacks walked to Washington to hear Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I have a dream speech". Wich of course,King was leading that march. Another event that he did was many other boycotts, like the sit in. Sit in was when blacks wouldnt leave the restaurant until they were served. Some people were there for over 3 hours! Some white leaders did not want King in this life, so they decided to get rid of him. April 4th, 1968, thats when he got shot in his hotel balcony,and never opened his eyes again. The reason why those horrible people did that is beacuse they thought Martin would actually end all this segregation,and they did not want that,they wanted balcks to suffer.And if Martin did all the things he was doing,and would have done more, blacks would not win this fight. But gladly, blacks wanted to win this more than ever when they heard about King' death. Blacks,no matter how much they missed Martin Luther Kng Jr. they knew they had to stop this, and from what KIng did, they knew they could do it too! They did many other things to stop EVERYTHING! Finally, they did! In 1970's Congress passed the Civil Rights Act which would end this!! =] I think it was very stupid for whites to do tht. I mean blacks are the same people as whites, their human beings,with thoughts and feelings. Their the same thing, just different color. It also reminds of the Holocaust, thats because the nazis didnt like the jews and wanted to get rid of them. Just like the whites hated the blacks.Which I think they were both unreasonable, they are all same people, just differnet color or different religion. In conclusion, I think the negroes, or african americans, were really smart to start a boycott beacuse that way it started ending the separation beteween those colors step by step.
