Why do you think the supreme courts decision in Morgan v. Virginia did not prevent the Rosa Parks incident from happening?
The Supreme Court's decision in Morgan v. Virginia (1946) declared that segregation on interstate buses was unconstitutional, but enforcement of this ruling was inconsistent and often ignored in practice. The societal norms and resistance to desegregation in many Southern states persisted, creating an environment where discriminatory practices continued unabated. Additionally, the legal ruling alone did not change the attitudes or behaviors of individuals and institutions that upheld segregation, leading to incidents like Rosa Parks’ arrest in 1955. Thus, while the decision was a step forward, it was not sufficient to eliminate systemic racism and segregation in everyday life.
