Rosa Parks In The 1950's

Introduction

Do you ever wonder how it was back in the olden days more specifically in the 1950s? During the 1950’s, there was segregation on public buses and during that time there was a woman named, Rosa Parks who was African American. Rosa Parks was on the bus and when the bus was full, the bus driver asked her to move to the back of the bus. Parks refused to give up her seat and ended up being arrested. Parks was arrested, a protest was organized called the Montgomery Bus Boycott and mostly african Americans were involved in the boycott. The reason for the boycott was because of the segregation on buses as well as Parks being arrested.

Receiving all great information from a History Alive Textbook to a online article. A History Alive textbook was one of the sources I used to research my group and an online article being my second source. I determine the textbook being credible because it is a textbook that teachers give studies to learn about history through time as well as it being written to be used in schools so it has to creible for studies. How I determined my second source being credible was it being encyclopedia and it is also a general knowledge english language encyclopedia (Encyclopedia Britannica). Also it was written about 100 times full time editors and abou 400 contributors. Here are some questions I would still like to know about my research the first one being one did the protest take 381 days? What began segregation in the first place is my second questions.
