Rosa parks was a friend to E.D Nixon, a prominent black leader, to bail her out of jail. At the time, E.D Nixon decided to boycott the bus system the day of Rosa Parks' trial. Word of the boycott soon got out, people joined, and soon a major boycott began. Dr. Martin Luther King was elected president to oversee the protest. ]]> 2017-04-12 15:25:17 UTC https://padlet.com/samcjorge/wu3i78781ymu/wish/166100824 GREENSBORO SIT-IN samcjorge https://padlet.com/samcjorge/wu3i78781ymu/wish/166100938 Ezell Blair Jr., David Richmond, Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, and the help of local businessman, Ralph Johns created a movement that would infect the whole nation.
On February 1, the "Greensboro four" as they were called, sat down at the lunch counter in Woolworth's. They refused to move when they were denied service. This immediately prompted the police to come and the local media to cover the story.

The event was transmitted by T.V, and henceforth, the Sit in movement started.]]> 2017-04-12 15:25:33 UTC https://padlet.com/samcjorge/wu3i78781ymu/wish/166100938 samcjorge https://padlet.com/samcjorge/wu3i78781ymu/wish/166101054 2017-04-12 15:25:52 UTC https://padlet.com/samcjorge/wu3i78781ymu/wish/166101054 samcjorge https://padlet.com/samcjorge/wu3i78781ymu/wish/166101075 2017-04-12 15:25:55 UTC https://padlet.com/samcjorge/wu3i78781ymu/wish/166101075 samcjorge https://padlet.com/samcjorge/wu3i78781ymu/wish/166101096 2017-04-12 15:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/samcjorge/wu3i78781ymu/wish/166101096 WORK CITED samcjorge https://padlet.com/samcjorge/wu3i78781ymu/wish/166101129 History.com Staff.
