Martin Luther King and Malcolm X meeting

Rosa Parks was a Inspirational woman would would be the start of the civil right movement. On December 1st 1955 in Montgoermy Alabama she would get arrested for refusing to give up her set for a white man. This would break the Jim Crow laws, and spark the bus boycott. After her arrest the NAACP would be one of the frist organisations to speak put about her arrest. Rosa Parks would state that “People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day... No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” The bus boycott would last one year until the montumery busses would have to de segergate them.
