Boycott

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was not as instantaneous as you may think. There were more people arrested, violent approach of the white people to stop the boycott, and much more. The Montgomery Bus Boycott didn’t start off with just Rosa Parks getting arrested, there were at least a dozen more before her, in Montgomery alone. Rosa Parks was not really the reason why the boycott was started. They chose Rosa, over the two arrested a week before her, becauseshe was a better candidate then they were.…

There were various reasons for the occurrence of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It started off with Mrs. Rosa Parks, who defied the “canons of white supremacy” by resisting a segregation law, stating that African Americans must give up their seat for whites. The bus driver warned Parks that she would be arrested if she did not get up, yet she resisted the order and let them arrest her. Subsequently, E. D. Nixon released Rosa Parks and wanted to showcase a form of direct action. Nixon also knew…

America had gone through so many things when the Montgomery Bus Boycott was going on. They just had gone through the Vietnam War, which was hard for America to overcome.

They were breaking laws, but yet they were not using any violence while breaking these laws, because their leader Martin Luther King Jr. knew that they could…

I think that Boycotts are the most effective. Boycotts can break the image of something and call attention to people everywhere. Usually when theres a boycott on something, theres always another way around it. For example the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Although they relied on the public transportation to get them to places, they carpooled with other people, and even walked. They ended up succeeding a little over a year later after Rosa Parks arrest when the United States Supreme Court ruled that it…

Montgomery bus Boycott A woman named Rosa Parks was arrested and treated badly by the Montgomery police. In 1955 women who rode the buses in Montgomery were arrested for refusing to give up their seats to white men and women. Another woman named Jo Ann Robinson made handbills and handed them out to college students, that handbill told people to stay off the buses for one whole day. Instead of staying on the buses for one day, Martin Luther King, Jr boycotted the buses for a whole year. People…

Peaceful resistance has been around for hundreds of years and is a productive way to demonstrate an opposing idea without breaking the law. It is possible that this nonviolent way of protesting will not cause the change that people want to see, however, it is more productive than causing chaos. In 1838, Cherokee Indians used peaceful resistance in order to stop the American government from taking their land. Unfortunately, standing their ground did not ensure their homes. Instead troops…
