How can whites affect the blacks?

White people have affected black people in many ways. It all started when the white men made African Americans slaves. They went for years of being slaves to the white men. They had to do duties for the whites that were hard labor on them. Today African Americans are still not free as King said in his speech. Until people start to stand up for there freedom. (Martin Luther King Jr.) On December 5, 1955 Rosa parks refused to go to back of the bus which stirred up trouble for whites and there way of life in there community. It had been along day for Rosa Parks and she wanted to sit down very badly. As she very slowly went to the back of the bus she sat in the rear were the black section started. Then a white man gets on the bus quickly and rushes towards the back where he could sit because it was crowded and demanded the seat that she was sitting in. She refused to give him the seat until the bus driver called on the police, which took her to jail. (David C. Hanson)
The African Americans took it upon themselves and boycotted the busses. They elected Martin Luther King Jr. to be leader of the boycott. As the boycott went on in 1956, he gained rhetorical skills and personal courage. But soon after the boycott failed and they all suffered the wrath because of there interference with the busses operations. Kings house was bombed and him and other boycott leaders went to jail. (David C. Hanson)
They were both the same because they had vision of what they needed to do to prove that they couldn’t be pushed around anymore. Its great to know that both of them fought for that great need that was needed in society. That need was change in society. Dr. King and Rosa parks both were a person who intimated white people. But they did it for the well being of all mankind, so that all people would get along no matter what ethnic group they were.
