Rosa Parks: Montgomery Bus Boycott

 

The Event

What happened was, when Rosa Parks was on one of the buses another white passenger boarded the bus. The white passenger section was full so the bus driver told the first row of African - Americans to give up their seat, which included Rosa Parks and two other passengers, but Mrs. Parks refused to get up. Since Mrs. Parks refused to give up her seat, the bus driver stood up and walked towards her and started demanding her to stand up, but she still refused to get up. Therefore the bus driver went outside and got the police to remove her from the bus. There she got arrested and fined for violating a city ordinance and as a result, the rest of the African - American community decided to stand up for themselves and fight for equal rights.
