Rosa Parks
Did you now that blacks had to sit in the back of buses.
I Rosa Parks helped change that. I
was in the middle of the section and the driver told me to get on in the back. I said it was too crowded to come back and the blacks were
crowded in the back and there war white seats open. I dropped my purse and sat in a white seat to pick it up and
the driver all most hit me, but I had to switch buses. Because I didn't follow the colored bus laws I went to jail.
After my husband bailed me out I went to trial and because of me the bus
boycott began and we blacks eventually got the laws changed. By Laurel A. |
