Rosa Parks was a black woman who was done with segregation and being segregated and decided to sit in the front of the bus. The front of the bus was where the white people would sit and the blacks would sit in the back. When whites told her to move, she refused to and stayed still. They then called the police on her and got her arrested. This caused the Bus Boycott which led to no more segregation on the busses. This was one of the most important steps of getting rid of segregation.

Birmingham

The Birmingham and the Children's March of 1963 was led by Martin Luther King to try to bring the Civil Rights movement over because they were one of the most segregated cities. When they arrived, Martin Luther King was arrested and then he wrote a letter explaining the goals of the Civil Rights movement. Children were then chosen to march because everyone else was getting arrested and they thought that they wouldn't hurt any kids. Children were then getting sprayed by hoses and almost 1,000 of them were arrested. President Kennedy then ordered 3,000 army troops to Birmingham to restore peace. The People in Birmingham did not care and bombed Martin Luther King's old headquarters and a few black girls were killed.
