What did martin do to help black and white people sit where ever they want on the bus?

Martin Luther King Jr. did a very good thing. Here's what happened. Rosa Parks was an old woman who had worked very hard that day and was very tired so she sat down in the front of the bus. But when a stupid white guy came she was told to move and she was too tired. So she didn't. so the bus driver came and demanded for her to move. she was still too tired. so different white guy called the cops,but she still wouldn't move so she was sent to jail. Some number of years later, she was released because of Martin Luther King Jr. He had led alot of marches against segregation. Soon Black people and white people could be friends.THE END.P.S.-look up those 2 people for more details.
