How did Gandhi influence Rosa Parks?

Answer 1

Rosa Parks was forcibly removed from a bus after refusing to give up her seat to a white man.

this incident is remarkably similar to when gandhi was literally thrown off a train for refusing to move back to third class when he had bought a first class ticket while living in South Africa. Indians were discriminated against in south Africa and gandhi began his political career there fighting the laws that made he discrimination possible.

Gandhi's nonviolent philosophy influenced many leaders of the anti-racism movement in America.
