Blacks also were required to sit at the back of the bus. Her arrest sparked a 381-day boycott of the Montgomery bus system and led to a 1956 Supreme Court decision banning segregation on public transportation. “Differences of race, nationality or religion should not be used to deny any human being citizenship rights or privileges”]]> 2021-05-29 06:05:15 UTC https://padlet.com/hgarcia61/duks8hjknsa7peff/wish/1570179286 hgarcia61 https://padlet.com/hgarcia61/duks8hjknsa7peff/wish/1570180070 This boycott was born after Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Ala., to a white male passenger. Martin Luther then proposed a citywide boycott against racial segregation on the public transportation system. African Americans stopped using the system and would walk or get rides instead. The boycott continued for 381 days and was very effective. ]]> 2021-05-29 06:06:40 UTC https://padlet.com/hgarcia61/duks8hjknsa7peff/wish/1570180070 hgarcia61 https://padlet.com/hgarcia61/duks8hjknsa7peff/wish/1570180428  A group of Nine African American teenagers were enrolled in an all white school.

Four African American college students sat at a whites only local store and asked for coffee. They refused to serve them but the students sat there quiet and patiently waited to be served. The students were threatened and most times got food thrown at them, some also got physically attacked. These protest were used to show that the aggression and violence was coming from white people.
