Rosa Parks is important because she inspired the Birmingham Bus Boycott which lead to integrated buses in one of the most segregated cities in America.
Every American should know the story of Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was a special influence on a large number of people at a critical time and place in American history. Her great claim to fame is that she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man in 1955. For this refusal, she was arrested.
She was not the first person to be arrested for this crime, but at the time she was working as a volunteer for the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), so she was personally familiar to all of the civil rights leaders in her community. Because of her age, martial status and other demographic factors, they recognized her as the perfect symbol around which the people could rally. She was not chosen to be such a symbol before she committed her act of defiance. Her decision to break this immoral law was a spontaneous one. The boycott which followed was very carefully planned.
Rosa Parks lived in Birmingham, Alabama. At the time, this also happened to be the home of Martin Luther King, Jr. Martin Luther King, Jr. lead the boycott that followed the arrest of Rosa Parks. It lasted for over a year. African American citizens refused to ride the buses of Birmingham until they were allowed to sit in the front. The bus companies needed the revenue from the African American community, but they stubbornly refused to give in for over a year!
African Americans with cars volunteered to help transport each other around the city until the boycott was lifted by order of the US District Court. It was an enormously important event.
Rosa Parks joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1943 and devoted her life to the cause of American civil rights and equality, until her death in 2005 at age 92.

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.

Well normally from the mid 90's cars you shouod not be able to move the shift lever out of park w/o stepping on the brake - if you can then the brake interlock relays or system is broken. You should always put on your parking brake when you have the shift lever in park. There is a small pin that goes in the xmission to preent it from moving. It can brake and cause damage to the xmission. == Answer ++ Also, if you put a car into gear while giving it gas, you are putting extra stress on the transmission. You could damage the transmission. And NEVER shift into part while the car is moving.
How do you overcome submissiveness?
be more bold... decide that you are going to be happy with the way you are... if you ask a boy/girl out and he/she says no that is ok because there are more people to love... if people make fun of you then walk away or take a day to think of come backs and use those... if your parents say you are worth nothing then either block it out or for a last resort... talk to a teacher or somebody you trust and ask them to help you get a social worker to take you to a foster family... that may not be very good but it will get you away from your parents... i understand you might be over the age of 18 so the parent to foster family thing might b e irrelevent... i hope this helped! I am a 12 year old girl so this may not me what you were looking for
