What did rosa Parks Contribute?

She sat in the front, and refused to get up for a white man.  Her arrest started the successful boycott of buses; this lead to intergration on buses.  This happened in Alabama or Atlanta...I think.

There is a long history of women led protests.  The NOW website mentions many including women's suffrage movement, ERA marches and minority rights events.\n\nHopefully this will have some of the information you are looking for.

Blacks have made many important contributions throughout history in science, medicine, law, athletics, and many other fields. In other words, it's not just the music.

I know that she just recently passed away, but I admired Rosa Parks. She is a great influence to me because she stood up for herself and her race. She didn't care what someone else was telling her to do. She was tired and she was not going to move another inch. She knew that she had just as much right to be at the front of that bus as anyone else did! \nShe was a great role model. I am caucasion, but I adore her and she opened up many doors and brought new hope to many. :) I am happy for that!

Rosa Parks was the one who sat in the front part of the bus in Montgomery, AL, in 1955. During that time, black people were supposed to sit in the back part of the bus. When she refused to get up from her seat, she was arrested but was released later on because she didn't commit any crime. As the Civil Rights Movement was in swing, she helped launched MLK's career as the Civil Rights leader and hepled the movement get its national momentum. \n\nThat's all I know. But I would suggest for you to go to www.wikipedia.org.  Good luck!

The whole bus boycott started when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat.  Then the civil rights movement started with Martin Luther King Jr. and his "I Have a Dream" speech.  I don't know if this is the kind of information you're looking for, but the bus boycott may have been the beginning of the civil rights movement.

Rosa Parks\nCivil Rights Figure\n\nName at birth: Rosa Louise McCauley\n\nIn 1955, Rosa Parks was a seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama, an African-American living in a city with laws that strictly segregated blacks and whites. When Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man, she was arrested and fined. The subsequent bus boycott by African-Americans, led by Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., caused a national sensation that eventually led to widespread desegregation in the United States and the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Over time, Parks became a national icon of civil rights and African-American pride. She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1996.

She is a lot older than him. He was married by the time they met, although he was known to have several affairs. Rosa Parks says she was a tired old woman who refused to give up her seat to a strong younger white man. She never claimed to be a super woman. I am white and I find her very courageous. She was very religious & would never have had an affair. Your question is pretty insulting.

Obviously no one read the question and explanation. He didn’t ask who Coretta Scott King was, he asked what she as an individual did to deserve such a publicized event, and the overwhelming attention she received at her funeral. (And someone is going to attempt to strip someone else of credentials, try “competency” before you do that , sweetheart.)\n\nCoretta Scott King is referred to as the “First Lady of Civil Rights.” Due in majority to the accomplishments of her husband, Rev/Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. Majority of Mrs. King’s publicity and fame was derived from her husbands legacy. Mrs. King’s accomplishments included being a concert singer, founding the Martin Luther King, Jr Center for Nonviolent Social Change in Atlanta, and managing to get a national holiday in her husbands name. Other than that, Mrs. King was a speaker who often spoke on issues and ideas that her husband created or main-streamed. Apparently prior to meeting MLK, Jr she was a peace activist, but no proof is available for her work or accomplishments. If you research Mrs. King, you’ll find the items listed above. Majority of the information and “accomplishments” available are of MLK, Jr, not Mrs. King. Other sources will tell you she was a wife, and mother. Her parents homes, and homes that she and MLK, Jr shared were bombed, and other various information. However, the greatest accomplishment of Mrs. King was preserving and promoting awareness of her husband’s legacy. From what I’ve researched, she really didn’t do anything other than that. Sorry, folks, but research it yourselves if you have reason to believe I am wrong. The attention received at Mrs. King’s funeral was more than likely as a result of observance of her husband’s legacy, same as in everything else about Mrs. King.

Basics like 'how to participate', at least one of his representatives, and who the president is (prob sec. of state too.)\n\nThen there's the history... should know who we got independence from, first president, and a bit about social equality and the fight for rights for blacks and women. (refrencing Rossie the Riviter, Rosa Parks, MLK Jr. and Lincoln)

Johnson played both sides in the civil rights battle.  He pacified groups that opposed the civil rights act before he bowed to pressures to expand civil rights.  In the end, he played his part for political reasons unlike MLK who acted based on the principles he believed in.

Here is a good article on Gandhian non-violence and the US Civil Rights movement.\nhttp://www.san.beck.org/GPJ25-KingCivilRights.html\n\nKing frequently cited Gandhi, Cesar Chavez did often.\nRalph Abernathy cited Gandhi as an example.\nRev. James Lawson, who led the Nashville student boycotts, cited Gandhi as an example.
