Lucy Maud Montgomery

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a civil rights movement that took place in the city of Montgomery, Alabama. During this time, segregation was a big thing in the South. The African Americans have been fighting for their rights for so long. They were demanding political and racial equality. The African Americans were being getting tired of the segregation on the buses so they decided to boycott the buses. They would walk, ride in taxis’, carpool, and any other way they could get to where they…

Rosa Parks My influential person is Rosa Parks. She was African American civil rights person. Rosa Parks was known for refusing to move, and give up her set on 1 December 1955. Rosa Parks once said, “When that white driver stepped back toward us, he waved his hand and ordered up and out of our seats, I felt a determination cover my body like a quilt on a winter night”. My first reason why is I think she was not afraid to take a stand on her beliefs. She knew if her beliefs was going to be…

It’s another grim day in a place that nothing ever happens. No ghosts ever haunt, no demons posses, and gods never have the heart to bless. This place, where weather is always the same, a default cloud and sun that somehow makes the most cheerful and joyous of experiences into a dreary and dull event. Always seems that everyone involved is lethargic and rather annoyed. Here, it is where our story begins. About a young girl who could see strange creatures, a young girl who lives in a place where…

We all attempt it, go through it, see it, and most likely, achieve it. This quality separates the strong from the weak, not physically, but mentally. I believe that bravery is going after what you want knowing there’s potential for corruption. First of all, bravery is an activity anyone can accomplish; it does not have to be something extravagant. For example, one does not have to skydive or jump off a cliff. They can simply do a petite gesture of courage; for instance, they can be the first…

The Civil Rights Movement led to several different problems and solutions like violence and even equality. After that incident with Rosa Parks, E.D. Dixon met with Martin Luther King Jr. and had organized a city wide boycott. Martin Luther King Jr. was young, so therefore, they decided to have him lead the boycott. But since King was new to the community, he had zero enemies; they thought that it would have strong credibility. The bus boycott was three hundred and eighty two days full of…

On the afternoon of December 1st I had no idea I was about to experience one of the most iconic moments in History. I got on the bus and sat across the aisle from a lady, known as Rosa Parks. Of course, I didn’t know that at the time. We were sitting at the front of the black section and we were minding our own business when a few white people decided to get on the bus. Everyone sat down except for one man, they were out of seats. I automatically got up and moved before our bus driver even said…

Think about all the challenges that Rosa Parks took on in life and in the situations that she went through. How do you think that her character traits helped her get through these problems? In my opinion her personality was bold but calm at the same time. This allowed her to overcome her obstacles of being an african american woman. She didn’t just help herself, she also helped every other african american woman. She stood up for what’s right and made an exceptial argument for her…

metaphorically stood up for the rights of black people. Mrs. Parks refusal to give up her seat on the bus to a passenger, sparked a citywide boycott of the public bus systems. On December 1, 1955, Rosa was on her way home after a long day at the Montgomery department store, in which she worked as a seamstress. Back in the 1950’s the law was that; when an African-American passenger boarded the bus, they had to get on at the front to pay their fare and then get off and reboard the bus at the back…
