On December 1, we honor Rosa Parks. But who was Rosa Parks? Why is she important?
African Americans in Montgomery did not take the bus for a year. The city lost money. In 1956, the Supreme Court decided that African Americans and White people had to share the bus. This photo shows Parks on the bus riding in the front.
What Do You Think? Why do you think that laws separated White and African American passengers? How did Rosa Parks help change the laws?
