Bad times
In the early 1940s that time period was the worst for many colored people, colored people could do very few things in their towns. Many white people did not accept colored people in their towns and schools. As everybody knows that in 1960 segregation divided the nations people into two, it was something that was right most whites eyes back then, but it was never right to a colored person. Many colored people tried to prevent this by doing many thing such as bus boycotts and also the long walk to Montgomery. Rosa Parks names comes too mind when you hear the word bus, She was a strong colored women who had to finished a hard day of work and she would not give up her seat to a white man. This begins the Bus boycotts because that day county police arrested Rosa Parks. This action put hope and into many colored peoples eyes. The man that gave everybody hope was Dr. Martin Luther king jr a Baptist Church pastor to lead the boycotts and also the most affective civil rights movement “ well I’m not sure I’m the best person for the position” “ but if no one else is going to serve I’d be glad to try.
The civil rights movement gave colored people the hope to live the American dream. That all men are created equal and it’s not about the color of are skin but it is by the content of our character
Very thorough information about Rosa Parks, the bus boycott, and Martin Luther King. The only addition you could of had was to put examples of segregation like colored entrances to restaurants. Great job
