Definition: Civil Rights Movement - A struggle for social justice that took place primarily during the 1950s and 1960s for Black Americans to gain equal rights under the law in the United States.

Definition: NAACP - National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a civil rights organization formed in 1909 to advance justice for African Americans.

The Montgomery Bus Boycott

The Montgomery Bus Boycott is considered one of the most successful mass movements against racial segregation in history. It was sparked by Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat to a white passenger on December 1, 1955.

Highlight: The Montgomery Bus Boycott lasted for 381 days and resulted in the desegregation of Montgomery's public transportation system.

The political background of this event was rooted in the Jim Crow Laws, which enforced racial segregation in public facilities throughout the Southern United States. These laws, passed after Democrats regained control of southern legislatures, led to the disenfranchisement of black voters and the segregation of public spaces, including transportation.

December 1, 1955: The Day That Changed History

On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks boarded a Cleveland Avenue bus to return home from work. She took a seat in the first row of the "colored" section. As the bus filled with white passengers, some were left standing in the aisle. The driver stopped the bus and moved the sign separating the white and black sections back by one row, asking four black passengers, including Parks, to give up their seats.

Quote: "People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically... No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in." - Rosa Parks

Parks refused to move, remaining seated. This act of defiance led to her arrest and sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Early Life and Family

Rosa Parks experienced racial discrimination from a young age. As a small child, she suffered from poor health, particularly chronic tonsillitis. Her parents separated when she was young, leading her to move to Pine Level, Montgomery County, where she grew up on a farm with her grandparents.

Example: Parks' grandparents were formerly enslaved people and strong advocates for racial equality, which likely influenced her future activism.

Parks attended rural schools until the age of 11 and later attended a laboratory school. However, she had to drop out to take care of her grandmother. Despite coming from a poor family, education was highly valued in her household.
