I saw the area where Rosa Parks said NO to give up her bus seat for a white person. She was polite and firm. The bus driver said he would have her arrested and that is what happened. I got to see the whole thing happen but for pretend because it was like a movie playing in the windows of a real bus inside the Rosa Parks Museum. I learned that this is called a reenactment but I probably won’t remember that word later. I also learned that when Rosa Parks did this, a lot of other people started to do this too and that is called a boycott. The city lost a lot of money every day because of all the people boycotting the bus. I learned about boycotting when I went to The Cesar Chavez Museum but I am still trying to remember that word. Boycott.
Your parents are making sure that you have very important information about the civil rights movement! Happy to see this! I used to belong to a club that was involved with seeking justice for everyone.
