Activity 3 : I have a dream



Rosa Parks, an American woman with the dream and soulful will to make things for everyone equal. The problem was the fact that the law was bias, and even though they claimed to have created the Jim Crow Law's so both coloured and non coloured people would be treated equal that was not so. The coloured and white people were treated differently, for example the black citisens were given less opportunity's than the white people and they would also get in trouble with the law for silly reasons. Rosa Parks joined a group with her husband working towards putting an end to discrimination and segregation, known as NAACP. On December 1st 1955 Rosa Parks finished a long day of work and took the bus home as usual. As the bus got full there were not seats left, so when a white male boarded the bus she was demanded to remove from her seat and Rosa being a strong woman refused because she knew that she was being mistreated, and because of herself not moving she was taken to jail which ultimately resulted in a large protest by the other coloured people. After telling the court how the law was unfair and long protest, (the busses losing lots of money due to the fact that 70% of their passengers were coloured people), the supreme court ruled that the Jim crow laws were "unconstitutional" which made many coloured people happy but all the white people more angry than usual. Rosa lived a long life, still fighting for peoples rights wherever she could.
