Rosa Parks & Boycotts
Back to event
Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott were two pinnacle moments of the Civil Rights movement. Rosa Parks was asked to give up her seat by a white man and was arrested for refusing. It fueled a spark in the movement, as Rosa Parks and many others were unfairly arrested for trying to speak up. Throughout the country, many people boycotted buses, and bus companies were losing money by the minute. Eventually, they had no choice but to integrate buses. Yippee!!!

Selma Marches
The Selma Marches began in Selma, Alabama, in 1965. In total, there were three marches in the Selma Marches. The first one was held on March 7, 1965, and was led by John Lewis. This march was to campaign for black voting, but they were often met with resistance from military troops using tear gas to stop them. The second march started on March 9, and by then, Martin Luther King Jr. had joined the Selma Marches, but he was stopped by a barricade of soldiers. On the third and final march, he was protected by soldiers and succesfully walked 12 miles with over 25,000 people. Pretty cool, right?

Greensboro Sit-ins
Back to event
The Greensboro Sit-ins were peaceful protests led by mostly black college students. They would sit in white-only counters till closing time to protest discrimination. Sometimes, mean people would pour stuff on them, harass them, or even call the police on them! However, as the protest became more nationwide, many other people started participating. The greedy little diners began losing money, so they turned to peace and allowed blacks to sit anywhere and be equal. All because of money too! How greedy.

Tear Gas
Tear gas was used against the protesters in the Selma marches as a way to stop them. Tear gas was a temporary gas that irritated people; this delayed the marches. It was used thoroughly in Civil Rights protests, and that is why it is in our museum.
Police using bad stuff(tear gas), do not try or use at home!
Boycott signs
Boycotts were very frequent throughout the Civil Rights Movement. Peaceful protesters would march along the streets, usually being led by Martin Luther King Jr. Unfortunately, many people who disagreed would go so far as to injure the protesters. Many of these peaceful protests challenged unjust laws, which is why they're in our museum.

Rosa Parks Arrest (1955)`
One day, when Rosa Parks was sitting on a city bus, she was asked to give up her seat by a white man. She refused, saying she was tired of being told what to do by whites. She was unfairly arrested for this, and this event caused the first protests and boycotts for black rights. It is an important starting event in the Civil Rights Movement, and that is why it is in our museum.

Selma March following
As the Selma Marches became more popular and widely known throughout the United States, many people started participating in the marches. At the end of the marches, they walked 12 miles and had over 25,000 people participating. It is in our museum because it is a historic connection between civil rights activists throughout the states.

Voting Rights Act
Because of all the Selma marches, the Voting Rights Act was passed. The Voting Rights Act is a law that safeguards the right to vote for Black people and bans the use of literacy tests. Everyone throughout the country was filled with joy, and the march led to another law aimed at a fair future. That is why it is in our museum! Cool, right?

Nationwide Effect
From the Greensboro sit-ins people got inspired to do sit-ins in other places too. This started the nationwide effect across the south. For example this is the Nashville sit-in which was inspired form the Greensboro sit-ins. Isn't it cool how one thing can effect more things!
Nashville sit- ins started because of the Greensboro sit- ins
Montgomery Bus
This artifact is a replica of the bus that Rosa Parks was asked to give up her seat on. Number 2857, this was the bus where Rosa Parks was unfairly arrested, sparking a movement in civil rights. That is why it is in our museum.

Harrassed
The people who were peacefully protesting would usually get gross stuff dumped on them, but they still didn't give up. They kept on going no matter what was dumped on them. Talk about persevarance!
People are pouring nasty stuff on the the protesters

These four indivisuals sparked change all accross the south by protesting non violently. These four freshmen stayed at the white - only lunch table tiil it closed despite getting all kinds of stuff thrown on them. Brave people don't you think?
