Some things that were unfair between white and black people back then was that black people had to sit at the back of the bus or give up their seats for white people. Also, they attended different schools and parks, housing was different and so was voting. The law Rosa Parks broke was the segregation law, and she broke it after not giving up her seat on a bus for a white person. Her motvation on two levels was because she was tired from a hard day at work and wanted to relax on get home. On another level, she was strong and was fighting for what she believed in.
