Today December 1, 1955, was the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The blacks said that they were tired of having to sit in assigned areas of the bus. Rosa Parks was a black lady that wouldn’t give up her seat on the bus and she is a smart women to. I was surprised to see her not get up when asked to. She was braver then i could have ever imagined. She is also writing a letter to the Montgomery mayor saying "there has been talk from 25 or more local organizations of planning a city-wide boycott of buses." This plan worried me very much and was a bit scared to ride the bus. I being a colored person, was very venerable to the whites violence.Though this is not the first time that the buses have been boycotted, it seemed scarier then the others. Rosa Parks was the black women unwilling to give up her seat on the bus. The NAACP tried to form many cases against segregation. The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) played a gigantic part in tying to end segregation.
