  • Rosa Parks went to jail on December 1, 1955 for not getting up from the white section of the bus when the bus driver asked her to move.
  • As a result to her actions she was arrested and then later bailed out that same night, and while she was in jail NAACP ( NAACP means National Association for the Advancement of Colored People)   made a plan to boycott against the city buses  
  •   She was taken to court and on that day NAACP  and African Americans were asked to boycott for equal rights so African Americans can sit anywhere on the bus without having to give up there seat.   
  • She created a institute called Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self development. This institute helps kids from ages 11-17 achieve their goals and trains them in life skills. 
  • Emmett till inspired Rosa parks to not give up her seat. Because she was so upset that the killers of Emmit were not in jail.
  • After 381 days of boycotting and a lot of violence such as gun firing at the buses  the supreme court made it illegal to have bus segregation. 
  • Rosa continued her work by speaking all over the country for what was right and marched with many groups.
  • The congress gave her a medal of honor for her work and was given honorary degrees  and in Alabama there is a library named after her.

Gender equality is one major issue  in today's world. Women are not equally treated the same as men.
    2. One main problem is the pay difference between men and women. Women get payed 20 cents less than men. Women do the the same work as men but why do they get paid less? This is because many people think men work harder than woman and they discriminate them when it comes to employment, promotion, and pay. 
    3. Around the world there are still 98 million girls who don't go to school. Places like Asia don't allow young girls to receive formal education because people think their families can't afford it and that young women going through emotional times that  may make the environment "unsafe." 
    The gender equality from today and the 50's has improved. Though some things haven't changed. Women in the 50's were not able to get a credit card, serve in jury, and get an ivy league education. Today we have those sorts of things. Women in the 60's fought back by protesting their rights for equality, and even today in modern times women are protesting their way to gender equality. Women fought and still fight for equal pay, Co-Ed schools, and violence happening to women around the world. Some women aren't able to get education like here in the united states. Many reasons why this happens is because they think male and female brains function differently and the thought of violence and harassment has them separated. Another issue is the economic empowerment, six out of 10 women in the world are poor. Reasons why this is happening is because of the unpaid work within families and communities around the world. The lack of education also effects this situation. Still women continue to face discrimination in the world. In the end, we are all human no matter what gender, we should all be equal.

    Come, brothers all!

    Shall we not wend

    The blind-way of our prison-world

    By sympathy entwined?

    Shall we not make

    The bleak way for each other’s sake

    Less rugged and unkind?

    O let each throbbing heart repeat

    The faint note of another’s beat

    To lift a chanson for the feet

    That stumble down life’s checkered street.

    By Nico

    This means that all the African American people are standing together such as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr were standing up against white people
