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.
Rosa and the bus driver had an argument. Eventually, the driver had Roso
arrested by the police and sent her to jail.
This 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.
SRosa'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.
The bravery shown by Rosa Park that night proved to be a transformative move
for the American people.
