Stepping Up for What Is Just (based on real events) Matthew Alganes
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 in the 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 people.
