I am still reading about Rosa Parks, but I am very close to finishing it. What I have read so far is mainly what i already know. There were new things also that I read. I never knew that she got arrested in a bus after other important things. I thought that she was just getting the boycotts started. Also that she helped organize lots of boycotts and sit inns. If you don;t know what a sit in was, it is when the African americans went into a restaurant and sat down in the white people section and they wouldn't move. She also got to meet lots of famous people after they ended segregation. The thing that she got the most was respect for what she did. She knew MLK and other people from the NAACP.
In the book she kept coming back to one thing that she talks about in the book. She keeps bringing up when she sat in front of the bus. I think that is so because she thought that she really inspired people to start doing more things like her. She wanted people to start going against the white men but in a non violence way. I think that it was pretty smart of her saying that she wants them to fight in a nonviolent way. I also think she says that because of MLK and other nonviolent leaders. Thats just something that I noticed her constantly bringing up again and again.
