Rosa Parks stood up for her freedom or should i say sat down solid and strong for her freedom.On December 1, 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama the brave woman refused to give up her bus seat for a white passenger. Rosa was obstinate and still refused to give up her seat,she was arrested and fined for violating a city ordinance, but her pride that day later resulted in ending the legal segregation in America and made a great impact of inspiration to freedom everywhere.Rosa and many other African Americans were adamant and sure that they were going to stand up strong to fight this time for there freedom,
Mrs. Parks recalled in an interview, "we didn't have any civil rights. It was just a matter of survival, of existing from one day to the next. I remember going to sleep as a girl hearing the Klan ride at night and hearing a lynching and being afraid the house would burn down." Jo Ann Robinson and NAACP leader E. D. Nixon suggested a boycott due to her action and they also had help from minister Martin Luther King to help lead the group.On December5, 1955it was an estimate of 5,000 to 15,000 people boycotting it was the day to stand up for freedom. African Americans filed a lawsuit and boycotted and refused to ride buses for 381 days, all because the brave woman Rosa Parks reused to give up her seat.
