1One evening in December 1955, Rosa Parks rode on a bus home after a long
day’s work. During that time, black Americans were separated from white Americans inthe bus. The front part of the bus was the section for white Americans; the back part was
the section for black Americans. When the front part of the bus became full, black
people had to give up their seats to white people. Rosa sat in the black section of the
bus.
2Shortly, the white section was filled. The bus driver asked Rosa to give up her seat
to a white person, but she refused. She was tired of the treatment that she and other
black Americans received everyday.
3Rosa and the bus driver had an argument. Eventually, the driver had Rosa
arrested by the police and sent her to jail.
4This made the black citizens of Montgomery angry so they decided to boycott
the buses by not riding on them. Instead, they organized carpools or walked when going
to work. The boycott which was done hoping that city officials would be forced to
change the unfair segregation laws lasted for 381 days. Although the bus companies
were losing a lot of money, the city officials did not give in to the demands of the black
citizens.
5Rosa’s refusal to follow an unjust law was not disregarded though. Thirteen
months after the boycott started, the U.S. Supreme Court declared that the segregation
in public transportation was unconstitutional. In 1964, the U.S. Congress passed a law
known as the “Civil Rights Act of 1964” that put an end to racial discrimination in the
country.
6The bravery shown by Rosa Park that night proved to be a transformative move
for the American peopleQuestions:
1. What does racial discrimination mean? How was racial discrimination shown in
America before it ended in 1964?
2. How did Rosa Park show her bravery? Fill in the graphic organizer below to show
your answer. Support it by providing evidence.
3. In your opinion, was it right for Rosa to refuse to follow the law at that time?
Explain.
4. Does racial discrimination still occur around the globe? List down your evidence.
5. How will you help Indigenous Peoples (IPs) like Badjaos from people who treat
them unjustly?
