Impact

    Rosa Parks impacted African American lives in Montgomery when she didn’t move from her seat on a segregated bus. So the NAACP started an organization to improve black people’s lives. “The bus incident led to the formation of the Montgomery Improvement Association, led by a young pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr”. Parks helped the black people of Montgomery, Alabama to start a boycott, in which they avoided riding the city buses for 381 days. Rosa Parks also helped them have courage during the Montgomery Bus Boycott even when they were harassed and beaten. There were white people in the boycott who also suffered for helping the African American people of Montgomery protest against the segregation laws in Montgomery. ("Rosa Parks joins in a march…")
