Rosa Parks and the Montgomery bus boycott
In the 1950s, in the southern states of the USA, Black people and White people lived separately: this was segregation. In Montgomery, Alabama, Black passengers had to sit at the back of the bus and give their seats to White passengers when the bus was full.
On 1 December 1955, Rosa Parks, a 42-year-old seamstress, was going home from work. The driver asked her to stand up for a White man. She was tired of injustice, so she refused. The police arrested her and she had to pay a fine.
Four days later, the Black community of Montgomery stopped taking the bus. A young pastor, Martin Luther King, led the boycott. For 381 days, thousands of people walked to work or shared cars. In December 1956, the Supreme Court decided that segregation on buses was illegal. Today, Rosa Parks is called “the mother of the civil rights movement”.
