Rosa Parks

He was arrested on charges of parading without a permit, disturbing the peace and obstructing the sidewalk. He refused to pay the fine and had expected to spend Christmas in jail. He hoped thousands would join him. He planned to stay a day or so and return home after giving counsel. But after seeing negotiations break down, he knew he had to stay.

Rosa Park's real name is Rosa Louise McCauley. That is spelled correctly.

She sat in the front of the bus because she believed it was wrong for blacks to be discriminated agisnt (and she was right!). She got thrown in jail, but it was worth it, because soon, blacks were de-segragated.

Yes, Rosa Parks was 92-years-old at her time of death. She was born on February 4, 1913 and died on October 24, 2005.

Answer:

Because she was standing up for her rights. She had paid the same fare as the white passengers and when the driver ordered her out of seat, she did not think this was fair and refused to do so.

It was also a planned event as the previous, spontaneous Claudette Colvin and Mary Louise Smith arrests had political problems for a supreme court trial.

The first African American person to refuse to give their seat to a white person on a the bus was Irene Morgan in 1944 and Claudette Colvin 9 months before Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was not the first

they lived in different countries (MLK lived in USA, Mandela lived in South Africa

The bus Rosa Parks rode is now on display at the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit, Michigan.

Rosa Parks rode the Cleveland Avenue bus, as she always did when commuting to and from her job at the Montgomery Fair store.

The Cleveland Avenue bus was part of the Montgomery City Bus Lines, owned by National Bus Lines of Chicago, IL. Employees remembered the coach ID, 2857, was stenciled above the window on the driver's right, and were able to identify the exact bus Parks was riding when arrested. The bus was manufactured by GM in 1948 and remained in service until 1971. It was later salvaged from a field and purchased by the Henry Ford Museum in Detroit.

The education of Rosa Louise McCauley Parks [February 4, 1913-October 24, 2005] involved a combination of homeschooling, and of public school attendance. Parks was in poor health as a child. So she was homeschooled, on her maternal grandparents' farm outside Montgomery, until she was 11. For her mother, Leona Edwards McCauley, was a teacher. Then Parks took academic and vocational courses at the Industrial School for Girls in Montgomery, Alabama. She went on to attend a special laboratory school that the Alabama State Teachers College for Negroes had set up, for secondary education. But she didn't finish the coursework, due to the failing healths of her grandmother and then of her mother. In 1932, Parks married Montgomery barber Raymond Parks. Her husband encouraged her to go back to school. So she received her high school diploma, in the following year.

Rosa Parks enjoyed sewing.

She loves her husband, Raymond Parks, and animals.

She didn't give up her seat to a white man like the law said to do.

i have just finished reading the book iceman confessions of a mafia contract killer he said while in the hospital he was being poisoned and when they were describing the symptoms it sounded like a foresic files i watched where a woman poisoned her husband whom was a doctor with ricin the symptoms were the same but this is only a theory of mine how ever this is a cause of death the medical examiner should look into even though this man was a brutal killer even his family should get clouser

Nelson Mandella and/or Martin Luther King Jr. Technically they both did because they both got something out of it. If it wasn't for Nelson Mandella, blacks wouldn't have the same rights as whites and as for Martin Luther King Jr. blacks wouldn't be allowed to talk to the whites as we do today.

Who was the person who refused to give up a seat on the bus and led to a 382-day boycott by black people in Montgomery,Alabama

Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913 as Rosa Louise McCauley. The name of her parents were James McCauley and Leona Edwards.

She wouldn't give up her seat to a white person and she was black and started a boycott to change the law!! Everyone quit ridding the bus and they were going out of business and they changed the law so black or white they could sit and give up their seat if they wanted to but not because the law said if you were black and there were no other seats for the white person you had to stand!!

Rosa Parks was arrested because she refused to move further back on a bus when the bus driver demanded she do along with all other black people on the bus so the few white people who were standing could sit.

ANYONE have an answer to this question... because I NEED the answer NOW. First know that not all African leaders had anything to do with white people and may not have known that whites even existed,only the ethnic groups at or very near the coast would have been in a position to meet and know white people who were traders. That said,they were largely puppets for whites,the whites converted them to christianity and would marry in to their kingdoms. They accepted the whites' offers to trade because they wanted the guns,especially.But this became worse when whites also traded with nearby ethnic groups who were enemies.Can you imagine if somebody came and gave your enemy country superior weaponry?That would cause paranoia.So even though the whites did not force them to trade,the gun cycle would compel them to.There were some groups that initially turned the whites down only to accept the whites when they needed guns because the whites went to nearby enemies who started attacking with guns.That's called the gun/slave cycle.
