On Thursday in class, we talked about Rosa Parks and the many different ways she is portrayed in history documents. In some, it appears as though she was tired and simply just did not have the energy to stand up. In many it seemed as though she was the very person who started the bus boycott. This all proved to be untrue. In an interview with Parks, she claims that she had been planning the act for a very long time with her organization, and that particular day was the day she was finally able to put the plan into action. She was certainly an important figure in history, and the Civil Rights movement can thank her for helping to start the ball rolling.
On Friday, we had a snow day so no class.
