The civil right

We will see key events in the civil rights movement. To begin with one of the symbols of this movement Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks was an activist who refused to give up his seat to a white passenger on a separate bus in Montgomery, Alabama. She was arrest and required to pay a $10. Her challenge prompted the boycott of the Montgomery bus with the help of another figure of this movement Martin Luther King which has launched a 381-day boycott campaign against the bus company. Like Obama as said “Rosa Parks tells us there is always something we can do”. Her success launched national efforts to end racial segregation in public schools.

To come back to Martin Luther King, he was a non-violent man who claimed equality and human rights for African Americans, the economically disadvantaged and all victims of injustice through peaceful protests. For example, he delivered a "I Have a Dream" speech to more than 250,000 civil rights activists on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., during the 1963 march on Washington. His speech, one of the most emblematic in American history, ends with an improvised riff about his dreams of equality.

To finish with Emmett Till, 1965, was 14 years old when he left Chicago to go to his uncle's house in Mississippi. When he arrived, he was accused of whistling and flirting with a girl in a supermarket. At the time when a black man flirting with a white woman was unimaginable. The girl's father then tortured the young man to death. Emmet's body was found and the girl's parents were found not guilty. Emmett's mother agreed to show a picture with her son so that we could see what hate can do.

To conclude, these events are important messages of memory in order not to forget what life has been like in African-American communities and what hate can generate and to prevent us from repeating the same mistakes.
