1 Dez 1955 Jahr - Rosa Parks is arrested

Beschreibung:

On the first day of December 1955, NAACP secretary Rosa Parks was arrested in Montgomery after she refused to give up her bus seat for a white passenger. Her act of defiance was intentional, as she was motivated by her anger over the injustice in the Emmett Till case. Although she lost her job and had to move to Detroit with her husband due to the threats she received, Parks never stopped being active in and vocal about Civil Rights movements. Her arrest inspired the Montgomery Bus Boycott a few days later, which would eventually result in the end of segregation on public buses.
