Peaceful resistance allows a protestor to use their freedom of speech to go against an unjust act in order to gain equity…

Rosa Parks, although known and celebrated for one particular incident, led a life of boldness and tenacity, which was rare for her gender and generation. On that day in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus, when the bus driver said, “I’m going to have you arrested,” Parks simply answered, “You may do that” (Rosa Parks). “You may do that,” a short, but powerful, reply and a summary of Parks view on racial justice.
