Rosa Parks |
She was a black woman who was strong minded. She was asked to get up and move to the back of the bus and she refuses. Eventually this led to her being arrested.( She was the secretary of the naacp national association for the Advancement for colored people.) This started the Montgomery bus boycott. After a long day at work, 42 year old Rosa Parks boarded a bus in Montgomery and sat behind the 10 rows reserved for whites. After all of the seats filled up, a white man entered the bus and Parks was told to give up her seat. She quietly refused. Parks' actions were spontaneous, but she was an active NAACP member and knew this would spark change. She was arrested and convicted of violating the laws of segregation. She went on to appeal her conviction. |

Bus companies in Montgomery were almost forced out of business during the 381 day boycott. The United States Supreme Court ended the bus boycott by ruling that bus segregation was illegal in the Browder v. Gayle case. This was the beginning of the non-violent protest movement. |

Little rock nine |
Federal courts ordered the integration of all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. Nine students had been specifically selected to integrate the school. However, Governor Orval Faubus refused to allow the students to enter. Faubus brought in the Arkansas National Guard in an effort to keep the students out of school, arguing that he was preventing bloodshed. The federal government soon intervened, ordering the National Guard to leave. President Eisenhower sent paratroopers from the 101st Airborne Division to escort the students into class. While these nine were eventually allowed to attend school, they faced continual threats, abuse and hazing throughout the year. By the spring, eight of the nine had successfully completed the year, giving hope for others to attend desegregated schools. |
