Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was a seamstress. (She sewed and made clothes). Martin Luther King, who was only 26 at the time, coordinated the boycott and gave it immediate visibility to the whole world. Forty years after getting arrested, Rosa Parks was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor, by President Clinton Rosa Parks was 42 years old when she was arrested. Two months before, Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old girl, had been arrested for the same reason. Rosa Parks was a secretary at the N.A.A.C.P.: when she decided not to give up her seat, she knew that black people were well prepared and ready to support her. Rosa Parks was released. The Federal Court declared that Alabama transportation segregation was unconstitutional several months later. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (N.A.A.C.P.) was founded in 1909. On 1st December 1955, Rosa Parks decided not to give up her seat to a white man on the bus When he saw that Rosa Parks wasn’t going to give up her seat, the bus driver called for the police. On December 5 1955, the bus boycott started in Montgomery, Alabama. After 11 months of black people’s refusing to take buses, the bus company was on the brink of bankruptcy.
