Rosa Parks/ Mongomery Bus Boycott

The Mongomery Bus Boycott occured on December 1st, 1955 when Rosa Parks refused to give her seat up on the bus. They then arrested her. At the time, MLK was the minister and he believed in civil disobedience, which means to refuse to follow a law. He then formed a Boycott (MIA) that began a few days later. This was made so that no one would ride the bus therefore the bus company would loose a lot of money, and that is what happened. 99% of the cities african americans refused to ride the bus and used other ways of transportation instead, but the people of Montgomery did not like this and MLK got arrested. This didnt stop him or the african americans, so they kept fighting. A year later, congress agreed that seggregated busses were unconstitutional and this marks the end of the boycott.

This marks the official end of the Boycott. It lasted a WHOLE YEAR and then this poster was hung up. The constant fighting for a whole year worked out in the end.

This is when Rosa Parks got arrested for not giving up her seat on the bus. This number meant she was recorded as prisoner 7053 and they gave it to her when she was arrested.

This is what the African Americans would use completely any other types of transportation just so they wouldnt go on the busses, for the boycott. This made the companies loose a whole lot of $.

March on Washington "I have a dream"

The March on Washington occured on August 28, 1963 and it was a Powerful speech from Martin Luther King Jr. It was on the steps of the Lincoln memorial and a whoping 250,00 people showed up. His tone of voice and choice of words made it a very powerful speech which is why so many people attended. You could tell how much he wanted equality for the nation and how it would make the nation grow as one, not seperated. This speech brought out a different POV from all of the audience.

This is how many people really attended this speech from a higher POV. Wow. Spreading all over the place so that they could be somewhat near MLK, and so they could somewhat hear him.

This was a quote from his speech that stood out and also means a lot. That personality matters more that what they look like by the color of their skin, it makes more sence.

This is MLK mid-speech and you can see by his hand gestures and by his mouth that he is saying everything that comes to mind. His tone of voice makes an effect on the speech and on the reactions of the crowd!! :)

Selma Marches

The Selma Marches were formed in 1965 to try and get equal voting rights for African Americans. There were three main marches. The first began on March 7th, and the marchers chose violence. Two days later, the second was organized by MLK, so was the third and they were both less violent and protected. The marches were completely done by the 25th. These resulted in the voting rights act passed and gave equal voting rights no matter your race, on August 6th. By the end of 1965, many black voters were registered and voting.

This is a little map of the routes in order down the path. The whole thing lasted about half a year even though the marches were only about three weeks. It took time to get the voting rights act passed and published!!!

This was, you guessed it the first and violent march. The next two were not violent as it would only make things worse.

In this there are many many many people on the march crowded with one another. But it means for equal voting rights so no one stopped. Their feet were probably starting to hurt!
