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.
