Rosa Louisa McCauley was born on February 4th 1913, in Tuskegee Alabama United States. She died on October 25th 2005, age 92. She was a Civil Rights activist, was very well- known for her part in the bus boycott in her home town of Tuskegee Alabama. She then became Rosa Louise McCauley Parks, when she married her husband Raymond Parks from 1932-1977. She was known by the United States congress as “The First Lady of civil rights “and the mother of freedom the movement”. She was then arrested on February 4th on, her birthday.
December 1st, became
Rosa Parks Day, commemorated in the States of California and Ohio, where she
had been very well known for her fight for freedom during the time of the bus
boycott. The civil rights movement in America had spared many different views,
but most of the views in the 1960s were biased depending on the government at
the time. This could have only meant one thing which Rosa Parks, and Martin
Luther King had in common was that they both were fighting for freedom for
their fellow African American.
Rosa Parks was an African American
activist, fighting for the rights of African Americans in America during the 1960s.The
story of the bus boycott is very well- known by many different people across
the word. Rosa Parks had just finished work and she was
tired the only seat that was available on the bus was in the white only
section; Rosa felt that she was no different from a white person so she sat
down. The bus driver saw that Rosa sat down in whites only section he told her
repeatedly that she was not allowed to sit in the white person’s seat. Rosa was
adamant that she was not going to get up her feet was hurting from standing the
shop where she worked all day and she was tired. When Rosa continued to refuse
to get up the bus driver called the police, the police turned and arrested Rosa
parks for sitting in a white person seat.Rosa Parks was taken jail where she spent
one time. This was what brought on by Rosa parks’ fight for freedom for African
Americans in the USA.
The consequences behind Rosa Parks’s
actions was that she was arrested for
voicing her opinions about the reasons why she wanted to fight for freedom. The
reasons of her being arrested were because when she was protesting, and trying
to be the voice of reasoning.
The reasons behind Rosa Parks’s
actions was that she tired from a very long day at work. Rosa Louise mc McCauley
parks had been taking part in the Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama, which
showed she was fighting for her country.
All the tremendous work that Rosa Parks
had done during the 1960s has improved America today and will continue to do
so. Rosa parks will be remembered today for all the hard work which she had
done in the 1960’s.
During the 1960 when Rosa Parks was
alive she was not the only black person to be arrested for not following the
rules. This was caused by Rosa Parks was a very well respected member of the
United States congress, and she was also known as the mother of freedom. The other reason this had happened however
this was because other black people were also involved in the movement, which
means that the movement of America had changed at the time racism had ended.
Martin Luther King Jr was also arrested
for the number of years which was 27.
This shows that the famous people
who were fighting for freedom during the 1960’s had made it seem that America
at the time would have been different then to how it is now. This shows that Martin Luther King was a very
well respected man who was appreciated, the reason he was appreciated was
because of his great contribution he had made in America in the 1960s. That he
had contributed to all of America in the 1960’s,

Even before Rosa Parks had died in of October, 2005 she was fighting a freedom activist, very courageous woman, and a very well determined woman,
Segregation had begun in America in
the 1960’s, keeping African Americans and whites separate. However, Martin
Luther King JR was to be credited person in which he was helped to end the
segregation in America at the time of the 1960’s. (Used from the internet and
in my own words). There had been many different aspects of segregation that
included:
In many different aspects of
segregation had included separate bathrooms for blacks and whites, separate
public swimming pools and beaches, separate seating areas on buses, and
separate schools for black and white students, and separate army units for
black and white me, (which had then existed until the Vietnam war). However
there were separate parts of the cities to live (ghettos- which do still exist,
but even though the main factor of this is even more poverty than racism
today). It was almost very prominent that in the southern states, but which
still very much exists in some northern states- for example, in the state of
New York city, there two YMCA buildings one for blacks and whites which meant
that they were both being separated between the top opposite groups. The
African Americans have today fully achieved equality, which means the in
education, the workplace, and different treatment before the law.
Martin Luther King’s Jr’s reaction to racism in the 1960’s
Martin Luther King JR was a black
African American activist who lived in the state of Alabama. However when martin Luther King was
protesting in Montgomery his protesting lead him to be arrested for 27 years.
Martin Luther king JR’s reaction to
racism in the 1960’s in Montgomery Alabama had caused a lot of up- hevel
because he was not supposed tobe protesting in Alabama because he wanted to
make America and most of the United States equal, and so that it could be a
better place for people to live in.
The reason King was protesting in Alabama is
because he wanted America to become more equal showing that he was looking
after hi country, and making sure it would become equal,. It happened when the
black and white people were allowed to be together and working in the same
place as each other.
In conclusion to all of this, the
1960’s was the time of racism and difficulty for many different types of people
across America. There were hardly any punishments for these people in America,
who were found being racist to their fellow men and women in America it. For
instance there many people were trying to fight for freedom and also against
racism in America. These included Rosa Louise mc Cauley Parks, Martin Luther
King JR, Marie Curie, Malcolm X and many other different influential people in
America. Other influential peoplealso included Stephen Lawrence who was murdered
because he was black, this meant that at the time of 1960’s and today are still
times of racism.
The reason to why these famous
people are recognised is because of what they have achieved in all of this
around the United States. These people
had no doubt have made sure that the United States of America and the United
Kingdom have become of one. As they had to stay very united which meant that racism
would not last throughout America. However, since segregation was introduced
into America after racism had ended forty years ago according to some sources,
but sometimes it still sometime happens legally.
Rosa Parks on the bus sitting in a white person's seat, and when she refused to move she was then later arrested, by the police, she had started protesting to say that she will not ever take the bus to work, she would start walking.
