Bus Act/Bus Boycott
The bus act was as we all know a significant turning point in American social history. Part of this was on December 2nd, 1955 Rosa Parks and other protesters refused to ride all city buses. They wanted to prove that they were not going to take the mistreatment of racial discriminators. They influenced a much larger act called the civil rights act and changed the way we look at people of color today. They showed that racial discrimination was wrong and that they were not going to sit around and do nothing about. If everyone just sat around and did nothing that is what would have been accomplished: nothing.
