4.A Why the incident with Rosa Parks started the civil rights movement:
The fact that Rosa Parks refused to ride on the bus as if it was segregated, she gave birth to the civil rights movement, because she sparked the jovial Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott, which also lead to the imprisonment of Rosa Parks. The brief imprisonment and the boycotts made the U.S Supreme Court outlawed segregation on public buses.
The boycott also raised to national prominence a youthful, little-known minister named Martin Luther King Jr. Under his leadership, the boycott set a pattern for nonviolent, community-based protest that became a successful strategy in the civil rights movement.
Rosa Parks showed the blacks, how little things can change big things.
Parks wanted to be a teacher, but had to drop out of school to care for her ailing mother. (She later received her high school diploma.) When she was 18, she fell in love with barber Raymond Parks and they later married. During part of the Second World War, she worked at the racially desegregated Maxwell Field (now Maxwell Air Force Base) in Montgomery. She later attributed her indignation toward the segregated Montgomery transportation system to the contrast with the integrated on-base transportation she had experienced.
