An event that I found interesting was about James Meredith. He was the first African American to enroll in the university of Mississipi.The students who atended the school started riots and violence. President Kennedy had to call in 5,000 federal troops to the school to take care of the incident. I thought it was interesting because its almost similar to the little rock nine because they were also the first african americans to integrade in an all white school. They both also called soilders in the schools to take care of the cituations.
ReplyDeleteThe one that most interested me was the integration of the Little Rock 9 in Central High School in Sept.1957.It interested me because the governor and the president were kind of fighting because the governor didnt want the Little Rock 9 to integrate and the president did.Also because president had to call the military and National Guard just to protect 9 kids and just because they were black.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened was that Central High School was an all white school,until segregation was illegal,nine African-Americans integrated to the school.Then on the first day of school the governor of the state told police to block the entrance so the kids wont enter but then the president told the military to go and let the Little Rock 9 go in school safely.
I thought that Little Rock 9 were really brave people.I thought this because they were brave enough to go to a former all white school where only the 9 of them were black and the whole school was of white people.This is similar to my topic because in the Montgomery Bus Boycott those black people were also brave enough to stand for their rights and dont let the white people take way their rights.
The one timeline that really catch my attention was the fourteen year old Emmett Till
ReplyDeletewho was visiting his family in mississipi he was kidnapped, brutally beaten, shot, and dumped in the Tallahatchie River for allegedly whistling at a white woman.The two guys who kill him were arrest J. W. Milam and Roy Bryant they were jury by a white guy.The case becomes a cause celebre of the civil rights movement.we see this usually always happen over the world were a person takes another person's life and it reallt relates to everyone because once in their life time family memeber has been killed by someone else or how back than they used to kill and offend people from color.
What Rosa Park did was so amazing and brave for her to do, too. What she did was she refused to give up her seat to a white guy. But she didn'tdo it in a bad way it was just that by that thime many whites were very prejudice to black. Well she stood up for all people to show that everyone was and is egual. I thought it was intresting because she is right everyone in the world is equal no matter what color they are. It was also intresting because it was so brave of her to stand for her people for who have been tortures and commented in, in a bad way. I think that she was the bravest women who stopped racism for black people
ReplyDeleteI found Emmett Till the most intresting. My mom had told me about this story before and it was such a sad event. Emmet till was beaten and shot and so forth because he supposely whistled at a white woman. Which was very wrong worse if you were "colored". He did end up dying over this thing. I think that was so very wrong. I dont get people from back then. I do find back then intresting. With everything they had that is updated now. Emmet Till was only 15 years old when he died. I find that people who did this were childish and didnt realize Emmet was still just a kid. Very Sad.
ReplyDeleteThe event i think is the most unbelievable is Emmett Till in 1955. I think its unbelieveable because they kidnap,beat and murder a kid just for whistling at a white lady. It's unfair and stupid, so it would have been all right if a white kid did it but a black kid can't. It does seem stupid because children that age should be think or doing things like that. Yet that doesn't mean people have to go out and kill them. They're people they make mistakes but this is particularly different because,it was a black kid you did this. If it was a white kids no one would have said or done anything.
ReplyDeleteOne event that i found to be interesting was in 1963 when Marthin Luther King Jr. was arrested for joining in an anitsegregational protest. I think that this is important because how can someone be arrested for showing the way that they think about something.Also, on August 28,1963, there is a march and there, Marthin Luther King gave his most famous speech "I Have A Dream". This was very important because it opened many peoples eyes! It let people know what he wanted to make happen and proved to them he was right and that segregation was truly wrong and that whites were not correct in what they were doing. He let them know that everyone is a human being and just because of their outside features it doesnt give them a right to be treating them differently as if they were animals. His speech was extremely important because it encouraged for example Rosa Parks to stand up for herself and not give up her seat on the bus. I could see why my research Person President John F. Kennedy was also against segregation and continued to try and make sure that everyone had equal rights and to be treated equally not just for who they were!
ReplyDeleteWell the thing that i thought was interesting is that this 14 year-old got beaten to death only because he was whistling at this white lady.I was also proud for Rosa parks that stood up for herself.Another thing that was interesting was that 9 African American teens went to Cenral High(a all white high school).Im happy for James Meredith because ha was the first African American to enroll at the University of Mississippi.I believe that alot of African Americans were brave to stand up for their rights.
ReplyDeleteover the time the white people didnt exsept theblack people because they believed they were better than them and in the time line i notice that alot of black ppl died for wt they believed in or wt they were fightin for and the blacks most of them didnt do anything to get back at them.the ppl were so mad that the blacks were trying to get there freedom they even killed there own kind who tryed to help them.the cops didnt protect the black ppl they did theoppisite they gave black and whit people to the kkk.
ReplyDeleteThe event that I found interesting happened on May 4,1962. This event brought people to stand up for themselves. Students started to test out laws that prohibit segregation in interstate travel facilities (buses and railroad stations). These students or groups were called "Freedom Riders".When this group started to protest for their rights racial groups would attack them. One of the racial groups that attacked them would be the Ku Klux Klan. The Ku Klux Klan would beat these people with bats and clubs. Klansmen also torched freedom riders buses, bombed churches and even burned there houses.The people that were know as Freedom Riders were very brave because they still fought for what they beleived in, which was equal rights.The group, Freedom Riders, had about 1,000 volunteers and the members were both black and white. This shows that not all white poeple were prejudice and some white poeple and black people teamed up to fight for the blacks equal rights.
ReplyDeleteI want going to write about Rosa parks. What i think she did was really brave and woman standing up and her pride that she black. She proving everyone that black people could really make a difference. What i think is that this is one of many actions black people did to prove other people that they can make a difference and be like a normal people.
ReplyDeleteAn event I found interesting in the Civil Rights Movement was on September of 1957. That is the date when “Little Rock Nine” entered Little Rock’s Central High School. The reason I thought that this event was interesting was because this group of nine students made it possible for integration to happen. These nine students where the first African Americans to attend an all-white school. I would think that since they were young they might have thought that dealing with insults every day was to hard and they might have just left Central High and go back to their regular lives, but instead they decided to fight against all the insults. This is just how Jackie Robinson reactions were. He would ignore the nasty comment he got from other baseball players and from the public that went to go see the Dodgers play. Even though teams refused to play against him and they treated him like he was a no body he would play the best he could in his games and he didn’t let anyone tear him down. That is why I found this event interesting because most of the African Americans back then would have been afraid to do what “Little Rock Nine” did
ReplyDeleteIn 1955 Emmett Till, a fifteen year old, was shot and beaten. He got attack for whistling at a white woman. This got others angry because he was African American. I think this is interesting because people are always talking about racism. This goes to show that racism can go too far and really hurt somebody. In a way I can relate this back to John F. Kennedy because he was the first openly Catholic president. Since racism was already going on something like that could have happened to him. In fact JFK was assassinated but for other reasons. I will always remember Emmett Till and think about how it could have been different.
ReplyDeleteOf all of the timeline sories the most that interedme the most is the one about the 14 year old boy named Emmet Till. It amazed me because he just wistled to a white woman and was killed. I can't believe that 2 white men kidnaped him ,hit him,and shot him whitch killed him. Then this men thrugh him in a river. I believe that these 2 white were and are demented. These 2 men make me sick they have to have no hart to do this. Since the boy was black he had no right to do that in the white men eyes. this fits to my reasearch because Malcolm X fought for the freedome that all white people have.
ReplyDeleteFrom my viewpoint I believe that from the time line I am the most interested with the year 1957 (September). I like this specific time because I like the topic "integration" since I was interested in the book "Warriors Don't Cry" By: Melba Pattillo Beals. During this time it talked about many students known as "Little Rock Nine" these students suffered every day as they tried to integrate to Central High. All that the nine students wanted was to get an education and in return they had bad memories that may of scared them for life. These students were not allowed to enter the school even after they had troops along aside from them. If I were to connect my research person, Martin Luther King Jr. to this time I would say that both of them wanted to have others listen to what they had to say since nobody listened. Letting them know they had to do something about it. Also both went through such strong racism. Overall I was really interested in the topic within the year 1957(September).
ReplyDeleteThe timeline story i choose was in December 1st, 1995. This timeline was about Rosa Parks, and how she changed the world. She made a difference by sitting in the front of the bus which is for white people only. She didn't really cared what people said about the rules in the bus. She got arested afterwards when she refused to get out of the seat. The Montgomery black community acted to this by making a bus boycott and Marthin Luther King was in it and it lasted a year. The buses were desegregated in Dec. 21, 1956. I thought this was really interesting because I put it in my point of view and noticed that if I were her I would have just never sat down in the front, and Rosa Parks didn't fear the consequences.
ReplyDeleteI found the Montgomery bus boycott interesting because Rosa Parks was like the main person that brought this event to happen.I mean if she hadn't refused to give up her seat, i guess nothing would happen. The segregation law would of continue. who knows, if she wouldn't acted maybe perhaps now a days African Americans would be still treated wrong. But thanks to her, the people in the south fought for their rights! Rosa Parks encourage them to fight for their civil rights. They never gave up. The bus boycott lasted more than a year. But it was worth it!I was also inspired because martin Luther king was like the leader for the boycott. I guess if it wasn't for him ether they wouldn't of had won.He took their case all the way to the supreme court. And finally they won.I see Rosa Parks as a hero because she helped many people in many ways. For example she helped blacks that were in jail,she went to court with them and helped them win their case. She informed people about their rights. She just did so many things! And she made a huge success to the world!Thats why i find this time of period interesting.(Dec.1,1995)
ReplyDeleteAn event in the timeline that I found interesting is the event that occurred in the month of August of the year 1955.The event that took place was about a fourteen-year-old boy who was kidnapped, brutally beaten, shot, and thrown in the Tallahatchie River. This was done to him by two white men because he had whistled at a white woman. The two men were arrested but then let go by an all-white jury, even though they later on admitted to a magazine that they had committed the crime. I think this is unbelievable because people were so racist that knowing that two men committed a murder, they still let them go because they were white and the boy was black. It shows that African Americans didn't matter to the white people at all. Malcolm X as well as many other Civil Rights leaders of that time didn't want things like that happening again. They believed that everyone should have equal rights, which is why they started the Civil Rights Movement.
ReplyDeleteThe event I found to be the most interesting was Brown V. Board of Education,which was a case decided by the U.S supreme court in 1954.It all started when Linda Brown was denied going to her local elementary school because she was black.It ruled that segregation in public schools violated the principle of equal protection under the law,therefore being unconstitutional.This though was mainly implied towards the Southern schools were segregation was most commonly found.Slowy schools started to intergrate.The reason I chose this was because I can't even imagine this happening,it took me by surprise the first time I heard of this because I always thought everyone had been taught in the same schools ,as we are, for a while so it surprised me.The purpose of this was to intergrate yet although when Emmett Till(Research Topic)was there it didn't look like the south was intergration because violence occured when Till interacted with Carolyn Bryant,which indicated that although the supreme court rules this people in the south weren't planning on changing their ways.
ReplyDeleteOn may May 4,1961 students take bus trip through the South to see how some interstates travel facilities prohibit segregation.They were called Freedom Riders and some of them were attacked by angry mobs. The CORE and SNCC involved more than 1000 black and white students.I am interested in this because they willing to risk themselves to see what they could do stop segregation. The Little Rock Nine also did the same but a bit more differently than the Freedom Riders.
ReplyDeleteIn year 1948 july 26,truman say "It is hereby declared to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin." its saying to be equality treatment for all colors, and have the same right to everybody who care about your color and religion,and national origin.Its interesting to me because he say to be equal to everybody and have the same right he not telling us just for a few colors to have the same right.My topic is montgomery bus boycott they boycott the buses because they want to sit whatever they like and dont give there sit because they needed to.And also they did that because they want to have the same right as the white people the african americans want to be the same as everbody else and be treatmemt the same.And to stop being racism to people.And life in there normal life with peace and not having segregation.
ReplyDeleteThe timmline that I choose was 1948.It interested me because in July 26 Truman say that "It is hereby declared to be the policy of the President that there shall be equality of treatment and opportunity for all persons in the armed services without regard to race, color, religion, or national origin." and that mean that people should be treated with respect even though there differnt race or religoin.Also that Truman gave opportunity to people as the new executive order and that at that time the people had freedom and that they couldn't be stoped by anyone because it was like the Montgomery Bus Boycott the white people didn't like the blacks because they were different color but the blacks did something to stop the racism and so they could have rights and stop segragation.
ReplyDeleteI think that the event that i liked most was the one of when about Rosa parks. i liked it because she didn't want to give the seat in the front of the bus that was for whites and it was brave of her because she didn't care what happened and she defyed a southerner. i thought it was interesting because she wasn't a bystander she standed up for her not like the other african americans. i thought it was interesting because she made people create a boycott and try to do wat was right
ReplyDeleteThe event that seemed the most interesting to me was the 14 yr old kid who got bruttaly shot and beaten. This to me is intresting since it shows that even though Emmet innocently whistled at the white girl,he ended up dying because other guys found that wrong and were mad. His face ended up so disfiguered that his mom couldn't even recognize him. This to me is sad and pathethic for the white guys who killed him. If they had whistled at a black woman they would have been killed, but since Emmet was a black person, he ended up dead. Really sad that the USA used to be like this.
ReplyDeleteI thought that the colored man who whistled at a white women was interesting. He was beaten, shot and dumped in a river. The two men took it to serious and tortured him to the limit.
ReplyDeletei think thet it is very important i feel thet i have learnd alot
ReplyDeleteWhat happend in the timeline is that it was showing us how the African American peoples live changed throught out the years. Also it showed it showed Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat in the bus which led to the boycott. Also it showed historic African American people that made a diffrence. What I thought about it is that it was cool to now about the rest of the people not just Rosa Parks,martin luther king jr,or malcom x.
ReplyDeleteOut of everything that was interesting in the timeline the most thing that stuck out was that a man of color was kidnapped, beaten badly, and shot, and thorwn in a lake for whistling at a white woman! Also it amazed me how Rosa Parks refused to let a white person take her seat. How that incident led to the bus boycott. It amazes me that all these people had to fight for freedom im the U.S.
ReplyDeletehow come the so called strong and free U.S.A. let this happen?
the one event that i found interesting was when a man of color was beaten and tortured by shooting him to death.That was really . . . . not right.Even though it was interesting i cant help but think how wrong it was because what fault did this man do to those people?
ReplyDeleteThe Supreme Court Made segregation illegal and people could no longer use seperate facilities for everything. This is important because it was a step forward for everybody to be equal. Now everyone could go to the same schools and use the same bathrooms and facilities
ReplyDeleteWhat happens in the time line is it show us how African American acted to change their lives and for their children. Martin Luther King, Jr. made many speeches. Rosa Park got arrested to refuse to give up her chair to a white person, and move where black peolple are soppose to do. 9 African American intergrated to an all white school, and there was a lot of trouble going on. Martin Luther King got shot when he was standing on the bolcony outside his hotel room. Thats when everything changed. African American were allowed to do anything. It was really interesting.
ReplyDeleteJames Meredith was da first african american to enroll the University of Mississippi. Violence and he surrounding the incident cause President Kennedy to send 5,000 federal troops. And Martin Luther King Jr. was the first African American to become president and give out speeches and boycott in Mongumary alabama. He also gave his famouse speech "I Have A Dream" the reason it hink this connected it was because they both were the first African Americans to go to the uneverity of mississipi and be president.
ReplyDeleteThe topic that i thought was interesting was the time line of Rosa Parks in December 1,1955. Because she refused to give up her seat to a white man. When he asked her for her seat. I think it was really brave of her to do that, from my point of view because she stand up for herself for what she thought it was right. Another favorite one that i liked was ThE LITTLE ROCK NINE.Because it talks about how nine people volunteers to enter a high school with white people because they wanted to integrate. It shows there feelings about how they feel about entering that school. And no matter what they felt they still enter in the high school.So it would change the law to integrate.!(:
ReplyDeleteNine African Americans went to a white school were they be tortured and get beaten up.They have to be brave and have the courage to handle the danger in the school.I thought it was interesting because only nine children offered to go to the white shool and even thought the first day of school was bad they still went because they want to change the world and not let the white rule again.
ReplyDeleteThis is similar to my topic "The Ku Klux Klan" because the Klan is a group of white people who beat up african americans and burn
their homes.They don't let black people have the right to their freedom and also not let them vote. its time to change the world time and let everyone control their own lives.
I choose de year in 1948 july 26 it declared the policy to be an opportunity for race. What i tough it was interesting is that they made a policy for any person. On my research paper is about the ku klux klan and they both have in common is that they both have something to do with racism, and how people are ttrying to stop it.
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting event I found was in August 1955 where Emit Till was kidnapped, shot, and dumped in a river only because he whistled at a white woman. I found it interesting because it made me realize how brutal it was back then. You hear things happening everyday, but I think it hits people more when its in their age group. I especially found it interesting that they killed the boy that was our age.
ReplyDeleteAn event on the timeline that was super interesting was about this 14yr.old boy he was Chicagoan and his name was Emmett Till and he was visiying his family from Mississipi when he was kidnapped,brutally beaten,shoy and dumped in the Tallahatchie River for whisiling at a white woman. The two man, J.W. Milam and Roy Bryant, were arrested for the murder. The case became a cause of celebre of the civil rights movement.
ReplyDeleteI thought this was interesting because a 14yr.old boy was murdered just for whistling at at white woman that was non-sense. How could they do that to a small little boy. Maybe the vwhistle wasn't even for her or maybe it was but, what if the murders son did that would the white woman would they kill their own son?
Just like in Martin Luther King Jr. they did a bus boycott because Rosa Parks refused to give up her set to a white man nad so for 381dys. The African Americans refused to use the bus until they ruled so that the African Americans would be able to sit were ever they wante to.
An event that I found interesting was when Emmett Till was kidnapped, beaten, shot at, and dumped in a river in Chicago just for whistling at a white woman. The murderers were two white men, J.W. Milam and Joy Bryant. I thought this was important because if a white guy would've been the one who whistled at that woman the two men wouldn't have killed him. Milam and Bryant killed the guy mostly just because he was black. This shows how racist some white people were towards black people and how horrible they treated them.
ReplyDeleteThis situation relates to Martin Luther King Jr. because Martin was a black guy who was trying to stop violence against his people. What happened to Emmett Till is exactly what he was trying to stop. Martin wanted equality for everybody and wanted to stop segregation.
One event that I found most interesting was December.1,1955. That date was when Rosa Parks had refused to give her seat. She had to be seated in the colored section but that was not going to make her move. She had all the right to be seated where ever she wanted but the government did not agree. So they arrested her and made a start of a bus boycott. So I think that this event was really interesting to me.
ReplyDelete1991 november 22 evan after the 60 more laws are being made to help the rights of people. ALso it weird how the presideant took so much time to sign a simple bill.
ReplyDeleteIN the timeline there was a intresting story was in 1967 on april 19 because when a young man made his sppech for libaration for the black people. Stokely Carmichael wanted freedom and libaration. in his speech he said black pride and "the coming together of black people to fight for their liberation by any means necessary."
ReplyDeleteI think an important event was when Jmes Merideth went to university. He was the first african american to go to university with white people in Mississisipy.The thing that shocked me the most was that the violence was so bad that president kennedy had to send about 5,000 federal troops. I couldnt believe people went so crazy for such a little thing. iI think that those people were dramatic.
ReplyDeleteOn April 4, 1968 Martin Luther King Jr. was shot by James Earl Ray. I think this was important because he was a great leader who followed his dreams and never gave up even if there was obstacles in his way. He fought every moment in his life for African American rights. I think it was a tragedy for him to die just because he was African American, but he they didn't see what a great men he was.
ReplyDeleteThe event that I personally found the most interesting was the event that happened on August 1955. A fourteen year old that got kidnappped, brutally beaten, shot, and thrown into the Tallahatchie River by J. W. Milam and Roy Bryant, which were two young white men, who later became arrested and acquitted by an all white jury. This makes me realize of how extreme the discrimination towards the African Americans were. I used to think that the white people use to do wrong and be very much against African Americans, but now I think that they were doing more than just wrong. They were being awfully terrible to them and being complete extremists. Whistling to a woman shouldn't be a reason to brutally kill someone, especially not a fourteen year old boy. In addition, not only did they make a big mistake, but worst of all they didn't have any shame for what they did. Instead, they boast about it in a magazine about the murder they committed as if they were proud of it. It was as if it was an honor to them, and that murder was their trophy. This is why I believe that the most interesting event that happened was the one that occurred on August 1955.
ReplyDeleteone article that i found interesting was the three guys who went to investigate the burning of the black church and were then arrested. but after they were set free they were murdered by the ku klux klan. all these three guys wanted to do was to work on registering blacks to vote in the state of mississipi.
ReplyDeleteThe person i read about was Truman and what i learned he did was he ordered that all the people should be treated the same no matter what color they are or their religion i tought that was interesting how he tought because many people were racist and he did a good thing thinking like that.My topic was about the kuklux klan and they were racist to the black not letting the vote.
ReplyDeleteOne event from the timeline of The Civil Rights Movement was when the fourteen year old chicagoan Emett Till was brutally murdered. This event was really surprising to me.This event should've been strong enough to open peoples' eyes to reality. The poor guy wasn't even doing anything to bother the white men who were charged for his murder. He was a victim of a hate crime which in my opinion should be punished heavily by the law. Also, this event showed many people what was really going on, and how far racism can take people, even to the point to brutally killing the innocent. This event also surprised me because I could never think of white men trying to kill a fourteen year old only because he was black. And thinking about the family of the teenager is very disappointing because they didn't imagine him gone forever, they only expected him to go visit some relatives in Mississippi. I believe that to the point of the murder, the blacks had to notice it had gone far enough, and it was time to do something about it.
ReplyDeleteI found it interesting that I have found a website in which I read about the four young African-American girls that were at the church when it was bombed in 1963. But never did I think that that murder was a huge importance out of all the other murders committed. What this website didn't say (the web that you provided for us) was that it was the Ku Klux Klan that had bombed the church and killed those four young girls.
ReplyDeleteThe Ku Klux Klan, also involved with lynching, was brought to my mind when I read about the murder of the fourteen year old African-American that was murdered for whistling at a white women. This was also at that website I found. The boy was from Chicago and he was visiting family in Mississippi. There, after whistling at that white woman, her husband and brother in law attacked him. When they took him down, he was shot and thrown into a river.
In October 1,1962 James Meredith became the first black student to enroll at the University of Mississippi. Kennedy sent 5,000 troops when violance surrounded this incident. This happened because James tried doing something helpful for African Americans and to show everyone had the same rights.
ReplyDeleteThis is related to my topic of Rosa Parks because as well as James they were part of the Civil Rights Movement and fought for what they want. They believed that not just cause they were African Americans they didnt have the same rights. So just like Rosa worked with the NAACP and created many different movements thats whatJames did.
this is about martin luther king he was important to the civil rights movement because he stop the segragetaion in the 1950's and he created the boycott and he speak up for others by marching and protesting
ReplyDeletehe also didnt believe in nonviolence and everything that he did was need it because when he dided alot of peaple relize that how was that possible that someeone had juust died because of tring to have freedom.
when he gave his speech i have a dream was important because that day was the time when he spress,talk all he neede to say the way he feel.but all the tings that he did was with no violence all was calm in peace and
the way that he did all thiose things were mostly by protesting and protesting with all the peaple on town and all this happend thorg all the south.and the speech of "i Have a Dream"was made in washintong i belive that was made there because there was the white house and they will get more attention.

ReplyDeleteIn 1962 Oct.1 James Meredith was the first black student to enroll at the University of Mississippi. I say this interesting because he was one of the first black persons to go to University of Mississippi. The violence and riots surrounding the incident made president Kennedy to send 5,000 federal troops. Its crazy to picture 5,000 troops send to end the violence and riots. I believe in a point of a blacks person view it was hard to go to school and get an education. At that time it was hard for blacks to go to Colleges or Universities.
ReplyDeleteWell I picked the Rosa Parks event because I thought that it was important and interesting. The reasons why I thought it was interesting because she was the first African American woman to refuse to give up her sit to a white person. Because she was sitting on the front sits which were for the whites. Even though she was arrested people followed her and admired her for her courage. And they began a bus boycott until the buses were desegregated. Because of what Rosa Parks did change history and still today. Blacks and whites and everybody else rides the buses and sit where ever they want. This connects to my research paper of the Ku Klux Klan. They both changed the world because they inspired people to be up standers and to make their voice be heard.
ReplyDeleteThe most interesting part of the timeline was about the little Rock Nine. It was important because it talks about how 9 African American students intergrated into an all white school. As well as from what i knew already about how they had a tuff time trying to enter the school. The Little Rock Nine relates to my topic in my research paper about The Montgomery Bus Boycott because of 2 reasons. Both have intergration and a strong goal for a belief. Intergration because both have intergration as the main topic. A strong goal for a belief because both thouht of a goal and tried as much as possible to achieve it.
ReplyDeleteThe event that i found interesting was on December 1, 1955. She was really brave to stand up by herself to the white people. I think she was a very important part of the civil rights movement because she started a boycott that lasted 381 days. Also she was a women which showed that women could also stand up for what they believed.
ReplyDelete
