On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama when Rosa Parks a colored citizen, was sitting in her seat on a full bus, she was asked to move, but did not give up her seat. She was arrested. Rosa Parks, who was organized with the NAACP, started the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The Boycott was meant for all colored people to stay off the buses and find other ways of transportation. This was very successful 😯! BTW this worked in the colored peoples favor, as the bus companies lost $$🤑 and it gave the blacks the courage and power to organize more Boycotts across the South, This movement grew much larger than just Montgomery. Eventually, buses were desegregated !!!

Back to event

kIn the year of 1960, the students of Greensboro set out to be able to sit wherever they want and resturants. The waiters at these resturants wouldn serve them, so they stayed at the resturants as a silent protest. The waiters atarted saying bad things like, "You make our race look bad!" They eventually got so mad 😡 that they started violence. Even though these things started happening, many people around the South were starting to follow these silent protests. As a result of these sit-ins, there were many changes around the country such as, lunch counters, stores, and public swimming pools. There was also some white kids that started following along.

After the March on Wahington the Supreme Court started making a set of laws that were ratified. The first being the 24th amendment stating that poll tax which was for voting🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸! This amendment basically says that you cannot charge a person a tax (fee) in order to vote or place a ballot. Then came the Civil RIghts Act of 1964 which made segregation illegal and outlaws discrimination based on race, color 👨🏿 👨🏻, religion ✝, sex, or national origin. This showed that everyone was equal no matter what. Last but not least 😏 came the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This law banned the literacy test (a test which colored poeple have to prove they can read or write in order to vote) and ensured African Americans the right to vote without obstacles. This stated that voting was a natural right for all American citizens.
