Rosa Parks: My Story

Rosa Parks: My Story
In 1995, Rosa Parks defied law and customs to help overturn segregation in the Montgomery, Alabama bus system. Her act of refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger is said to have begun the direct action Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
Yet for decades preceding Ms. Parks’ brave act, year after, all across the South, African Americans defied segregation laws on buses and trains and were arrested and jailed for this. And no movement arose to protest this. Was there more to starting the Civil Rights Movement than Parks’ individual act of defiance? Based on evidence from Rosa Parks: My Story, argue the relative importance of Parks’ refusal to give up her seat compared with other decisions and actions she and others took. Take a position on what was most important in starting the movement.
Clearly state causes (be specific), good support, convincing argument BASED ON evidence, well organized overall paper, use subheadings, clear sentences with no confusing passages.
