Rosa parkes: in memoriam « Previous | |Next »
October 26, 2005

In 1956, Rosa Parks'was arrested for refusing to yield her seat to a white patron on a Montgomery, Alabama city bus. The bus driver had Mrs. Parks arrested, she was found guilty of disorderly conduct and that lead directly to the bus boycott, the civil rights movement, and civil disobediance.

The bus boycott was led by an unknown clergyman named Martin Luther King, Jr., and it resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawing segregation on city buses.

I don't think anyone should go to jail just because they sat somewhere they wern't supposed to I don't no much about it but it;s wrong

you spelt it's wrong... anywho. Yes, i think she's rather SEXY! :) She was. anyway. What they Did Was Wrong :)

i think she was very brave i won't to b just like her when im older.

We think that it is stupid to get rosa aressted over colour and seats pepole should of sat where they wanted

i think rosa parkes is was a very very very wonderfull woman who stood up for her an others human rights i hope others can be an look up to her

This is stupid. Someone phoned the police, just because someone didn't give up their seat. It would have been easier if they just let her sit there.

all my respects to this woman! At school were looking at this woman and how brave she was! if more ppl wer lyk this today it wud b a beta world!
