1 Dez 1955 Jahr - Rosa Parks & Montgomery Bus Boycott

Beschreibung:

On the 1st of December, 1955, African-American tailor Rosa Parks was on her travels home on Montgomery’s Cleveland Avenue bus from her job. She was seated in the front row of what was called the “coloured section.” When the white seats were filled, the driver, J. Fred Blake, asked Rosa Parks and three other coloured people to vacate their seats. The other African-American riders complied, but Parks refused to give up her position. She was arrested and then later fined $10, plus $4 in court fees.
