Question

thursday
rosa parks
rosa parks was part of the civil rights movement. on december 1, 1955, after a long day at work, rosa got on a city bus in montgomery, alabama. the city bus was segregated, and african americans had to sit in the back of the bus. on december 1, 1955, many white bus riders got on the bus, and rosa parks was asked to move further to the back of the bus. rosa declined the bus driver’s request to move to the back of the bus. rosa knew that his request was wrong, and she refused to move. due to her refusal to move, rosa got arrested and she was sent to jail.
rosa’s actions had a huge impact on the civil rights movement. other african americans decided to boycott and refused to ride the bus. this caused the montgomery city bus company to end segregation on the city buses because they lost a large amount of business.
