Rosa Parks was awarded several accolades regarding her work for the African American community which includes, but is not limited to;

·         Spingarn Medal - 1979

·         Golden Plate Award - 1995

·         Presidential Medal of Freedom - 1996

·         Congressional Gold Medal - 1999

 

Rosa Parks was born in 1913 and grew up surrounded by former slaves turned racial equality activists. She refused to give up her seat to a white man and was jailed for the night and given a court date. The NCAAP believed that the Rosa Parks case would be a perfect opportunity to create real change. They started a boycott of public transport and decided not to use the bus anymore. The boycott was successful and profits for bus sales in the city of Montgomery dropped exponentially. This led to the segregation of black and white to be revoked.

Summary paragraph on three civil rights activists  By Laura Keverkis 

All  Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks and Bayard Rustin where three influential people that fought for racial equality in their own ways which gave them the title of being a part of the civil rights movement. Martin Luther king had influenced the civil rights movement with his world renowned speech "I have a dream" that supported equality for all people in the united states black and white which not only sparked the nation but the world. Rosa Parks movement by not giving her seat up on the bus started stopping racial segregation on public facilities around the nation  by only standing her ground which awarded her the title of "the first lady of civil rights". Bayard Rustin achieved equality for blacks by refusing to register for the draft resulting in him being jailed for two years, but Rustin was able to make a big movement within civil rights by desegregating the US military leaving him as one of the civil rights influencers. 

Thurgood Marshall, Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks all influenced the civil rights movement in the US in similar but totally different ways. All of these people were very smart and strong people, Martin is the youngest person to even win a Nobel peace prize, Rosa was the first lady of civil rights winning people of colour the right to sit freely on a bus and Thurgood  acted and won many cases involving the laws of segregation. Martin Luther King is probably the most well know out of the three today and students are learning of his heroic acts during the civil rights movements. These three amazing people made big changes throughout America and changed how people thought towards racism and 'white' people began learning that all people are equal no matter what skin colour. 

Many people have been essential in the in the introduction of the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S, three of these figures being Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks and Bayard Rustin. All of the aforementioned idols have achieved and broken countless leaps and bounds, all through the utilisation of non-violent protesting mainly revolving around rebelling against the rules put upon their race. King, a black Christian, Rosa Parks, a black woman, and Bayard Rustin, a black homosexual, all worked together to revolutionise the lives of the disadvantaged and inspired a new generation where their teachings are rules and their legacies are impressed on everyone, including children. Battles they fought have not only changed the meaning of the constitution, but the world. 

Bayard Rustin, Strokely Carmichael and Martin Luther king influenced the civil rights movement dramatically. 

Bayard Rustin recognized Martin Luther King, Jr.'s leadership, and helped to organize the Southern Christian Leadership Conference to strengthen King's leadership. Rustin promoted the philosophy of nonviolence and the practices of nonviolent resistance, which he had observed while working with Gandhi's movement in India. This is how Rustin influenced the civil rights movement. Strokely Carmichael in Civil Rights Movement: "Black Power" Era was a civil rights activist and national chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1966 and 1967. He is credited with popularizing the term "Black Power." he influenced the civil rights movement by changing freedom to black power and standing up for African Americans. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a well-known civil rights activist who had a great deal of influence on American society in the 1950s and 1960s. His strong belief in nonviolent protest helped set the tone of the movement. Being an advocate for nonviolent protest in the Memphis Sanitation Worker Strike in 1968. these inspiring people influenced the civil rights movement dramatically and they helped change people's way of thinking and put a stop to racism. 

John Lewis was an activist who influenced millions of people by leading over 600 marchers across the Edmund Pettus bridge in 1965. Martin Luther King led movements an protests and had a part in legislating civil rights act and voting rights. 

Martin Luther king was an influential person in the civil rights movement, he was one of the best known advocates for nonviolent protests. Even now he is being recognised for what he did by teaching people about him. One of his quotes were Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Malcom X was another influential person in the civil rights movement.  He was named the minister at the NOI's Boston mosque and was the second most sought after speaker in the United States. He is still influencing people now through his actions many years ago. James farmer was an influential person during the civil rights movement by participating in campaigns and protests.   

 

Max ODonnell 

Martin Luther King influenced the Civil Right Movement because he helped eliminate racial segregation in transportation around the US,   he led a nonviolent movement from the late 1950's to the late 1960's. He led the coalition of multiple civil rights groups in campaign aimed at Birmingham, Alabama (The most segregated city in the US). Rosa Parks was an inspirational influence during this period of time as well, she didn't give up her seat on a bus with created the movement of African Americans being able to take any transport freely. Rosa spent the first few years of her life on a farm with her mother, grandparents and her brother.She witnessed first hand night rides by the Kus Klux Klan and listened in fear as her fellow African Americans were being lynched near her place. Because of Rosa Parks actions the supreme court decided that there would be no segregation on any transport. 

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH: 

 

Paragraph: 

 

Thurgood Marshall, Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King all had a role in the Civil Rights Movement.  Thurgood Marshall, who was an American lawyer in the US Supreme Court of Justice, was a key part in the abolishment of legal segregation in schools.  Rosa Parks, most famously known for sitting in the white area of a segregated bus in protest, inspired others to break barriers and protest against segregation on public transport and in public places.  Martin Luther King influenced others to end segregation through a number of peaceful protests and through the wisdom in his words.  He led many  Civil Right Movement groups in campaign against segregation on public transport. 

 

 

Three important people made an appearance and acknowledgement on civil rights; Rosa Parks, Bayard Rustin and Ella Baker. Rosa Parks was a black woman who was first known for refusing to give up a seat for a white woman on a segregated bus, this shocked the nation because she wasn’t just a black person but because she was a black woman. Rosa has left a legacy for not only her people and racism but for being an African American woman standing her ground in a time when woman didn’t have much rights against a man.

Rosa Parks also was an influence in the Civil rights movement in the U.S because she was an experience with the civil rights in which she was known for her persistence against racism. Parks was a person who refused to surrender a seat for a white passenger.  Both Thurgood Marshall and Rosa Parks were people whom influenced the civil rights and
