Best Answer

An Anglo family, I believe she worked for them, sponsored her to go to a gospel camp where Anglos and African Americans sang and socialized together. That is where she saw Anglos and African Americans being treated the same. When she returned to a segregated Montgomery, she knew that it was not right to be separated because of skin color.

E. D. Nixon got Rosa Parks more involved in the civil rights battle when he wanted to use her case to test the constitutionality of segregation. After Martin Luther King, Jr. was chosen to be the leader of the bus boycott in Montgomery, Rosa Parks got heavily involved with civil rights.
