Who did Rosa Parks consult before deciding to become a test case for desegregation of buses?

She consulted James Blake.


How did Rosa parks get involved with civil rights?

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.


What did Rosa parks have to do before she vote?

The bus incident occurred in 1955. Rosa Parks was secretary of the Montgomery branch of the NAACP from 1943 until 1956. She was a volunteer at the NAACP. Parks also worked as a housekeeper and seamstress for a white couple. She later worked at the Montgomery Fair department store, but she lost that job when a bus incident occurred.


What did Rosa parks do after she got arrested?

Well, after Rosa Parks got arrested for refusing to give up her seat on the bus, she became a badass civil rights activist. She played a pivotal role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which eventually led to the desegregation of public transportation in the United States. So, basically, she kicked butt and took names in the fight against racial segregation.


Why was Rosa Parks arrest significant?

In 1955, Rosa Parks was an African-American living in Montgomery, Alabama -- a city with laws that strictly segregated blacks and whites. On 1 December 1955, after her day of work as a seamstress at a local department store, Parks boarded a city bus. When she refused to give up her seat to a white man, the bus driver called police, and Parks was arrested and fined. The resulting bus boycott by African-Americans, led by Reverend http://www.answers.com/topic/martin-luther-king-jr, caused a national sensation. The boycott was a success and led to desegregation in Montgomery and elsewhere in the United States. Over time, Parks became a national icon of civil rights and African-American pride. Parks worked as an aide to Michigan Congressman John Conyers, Jr. from 1966 until her retirement in 1988, and she founded the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development in 1987. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by http://www.answers.com/topic/bill-clinton in 1996.
