Civil Rights LeaderRosa Parks This is her story Rosa Parks She was born 4th February 1913, in Tuskegee, Alabama. She grew up on a farm with her brother, mother and grandparents. She worked as a seamstress after she left school. Seamstress: a job sewing and making clothes. Alabama Rosa Parks lived in Alabama, a southern state of America. Civil Rights Black people (African- Americans) living in Alabama were not treated equally to white Americans. They did not have equal rights. Example: Black people and white people had to sit in certain seats on the bus. If all the “white seats” were taken then a black person had to stand up to let the white person sit down! This was the law in Alabama! Segregation (separation) Standing up for her rights. “It was a small act of defiance, she refused to give up her seat, as a black woman to a white man, this changed the course of American history.” BBC News. On 1st December 1955 after coming home from a hard days work, Rosa was sitting on the bus when the bus driver ordered her to give up her seat to a white man, who couldn’t find a seat in the “white section” of the bus. Treated equally? Are you going to stand up? the bus driver, James Blake, asked. No, she answered. Well, by God, the driver replied, Im going to have you arrested. You may do that, Mrs Parks responded. Arrested Found guilty of breaking the law which required black people to give up their bus seats to whites, Rosa Parks was fined $14. Rosa is bailed from jail by her friend, Mr E.D. Nixon. (Another civil rights leader.) Boycott of the Bus System Boycott means: to refuse to buy something or to take part in something as a way of protesting. By boycotting the buses they hoped to change the laws of segregation. The buses depended on African-Americans to keep their business running. Non-violent Protest The boycott went on for 13 months. Instead of riding the buses to work, many African-American people in Montgomery, Alabama, found other ways to get to work. How
