Montgomery bus boycott:
Brown v. Board of Education:
Children's Crusade:
Ongoing, systemic Discrimination had made it so that people of color were expected and in many times forced to sit on the back of the bus, this became the norm. One day Rosa Parks decided to buck the trend, Rosa, a little old African American lady decided to sit in the front of the bus and not move to the back.
It served as a powerful statement to African Americans everywhere that they were capable of standing up for their rights. Here was a little old lady, unafraid, courageous in the face of discrimination. If she could do it, more people could surely stand up and follow her example. Rosa set a historic example for people of color to follow and aspire to by displaying strength and courage. It served as a beacon of hope for equal rights for blacks. Their skin color shouldn’t determine how they should live and what they can do.

On May 2nd, more than a thousand African American students skipped
their classes and gathered at Sixth Street Baptist Church to march to downtown Birmingham. As they approached police lines, hundreds were arrested and carried off to jail in paddy wagons and school buses. When hundreds more young people gathered the following day for another march, commissioner Bull Connor directed the local police and fire departments to use force to halt the demonstration. Images of children being blasted by high-pressure fire hoses, clubbed by police officers, and attacked by police dogs appeared on television and in newspapers and triggered outrage throughout the world.
