Introduction

• One day, Rosa Parks was brave and had strength
  when her bus arrived to pick her up, she got on
  the bus, put her money in the slot, and sat in
  front of the bus. Black people had to sit in the
  back. The bus driver told her to go to the back,
  but she didnt move. The driver called the
  police, arrested Rosa Parks.

Background

• Raymond Parks married Rosa McCauley December 18,
  1932. He was a barber from Wedowee in Randolph
  County, Alabama. He had little formal education
  but a thirst for knowledge and a no nonsense
  approach to life. He supported his wife's "Quiet
  Strength" and encouraged youth to get a good
  education to support themselves, their families
  and to eliminate discrimination in this country?

Accomplishments

• On Dec. 5, 1955 Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King,
  Jr. and JoAnn Robinson looked out of their
  windows, and stood on street corners around the
  city, and watched the yellow buses pass by. There
  were hardly any black riders since Rosa Park's
  arrest. It was a miracle. People stopped riding
  the buses all because of Rosa Parks.
• Soon, the police were informed of the people
  standing on the street corners watching the buses
  drive by. The police patrolled the streets to
  make sure that the black people were not
  bothering the other bus riders. The black people
  continued their boycott, and it was a success.

  if a white rider wants that seat.
