The Montgomery Bus Boycott
By Sarah O.
The boycott is coming up!
On December 1, 1955 our dear citizen Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up the seat for a white man on her way home from work. Rosa Parks is now being fined!
It is time to stand up for all coloured people.
It is time to end racial segregation on the city bus system!
