SLJ - Week Two Day Two - Activity 3: “I Have a Dream”
Back then the laws were very different from today's law. If you were from the black community it was a very tough life to live. But that did not stop the black community from fighting for their rights. There was this one guy named Martin Luther King Jr who was a Christian minister in the United States of America In the 1950s and 1960s. One of the laws back in the day was that on buses black and white people had to be separated and if you tried sitting down next to someone that is white the cops would be called immediately. But one day a lady named Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was on the bus after a hard day at work and when the bus filled up she refused to give up a seat for someone that was white and after refusing to move the bus driver called the cops and she was arrested.

Hey Richie!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing another Summer Learning Journey activity! It's really sad that colored people didn't have much rights as the white people. But i'm glad that it's a different world today! Did you know that some black people would get put up for auction back in the days?
Keep up the great work!
Kia ora Richie,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Tayla and I am the Cluster Manager for the Summer Learning Journey in Kaikohekohe (Northland).
I just wanted to pop in and congratulate you on completing the programme! That is such an achievement, and I hope you are proud of all the hard work you have done over the last few weeks.
You've done a fantastic job at explaining what segregation looked like in the United States, and how Rosa Parks (and Martin Luther King Jr) fought against this. You have a great way of changing information into your own words Richie, ka pai!
Don’t forget that you can still gain points by commenting on other students’ blog posts, which will hopefully help you win some awesome prizes!
Ngā mihi,
Tayla
Hi Richie,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you said that back in the mid 1900's black people had a tough life, but that didn't stop them from fighting back. I also liked how you gave a short summary of what Rosa Parks did and what happened to her because of it. Would you stand up for yourself like she did?
