Why did Rosa parks protest about the black rights?

Answer 1

In 1955, when Rosa Parks began her protest, African Americans were subject to systematic and severe discrimination. They were required to sit at the back of the bus, they could not eat at whites-only restaurants, they were denied jobs, housing, education, and generally treated as second class citizens in every respect, particularly in the southern states (racial discrimination also existed in the northern states but was not as severe).
