Fun fact: Rosa Parks is not, the first black woman, in the 1950’s, to get arrested, for refusing to give up her seat, to a white passenger. The first black woman, to be arrested, for refusing to give up her seat, to a white passenger, was a woman named Claudette Colvin, who was arrested on March 2, 1955.
Rosa Parks was seen as a better representative of black pride and not giving up her seat by the public, because Claudette Colvin was pregnant when she was 15, and it was just seen as her being a crazy teenager.
@@warriorclass1040 I saw you answerng a lot of coments who thanked Rosa Parks, Claudette Colvin was the first woman who refused to give up her seat but thats not a reason to say Rosa Parks is bad, they both did a thing in our world so they deserve the same.
Just finished this movie and I give it a major thumbs up. I am a former secondary ed. teacher and I will always watch films with an eye to what I can use in the classroom. Rosa Parks & the bus boycott were always discussed but I wished I had been able to use this movie. It shows the organization needed to pull of the boycott and the fear people had knowing they were risking death to do it. The actors, script, but most especially the music are superb.
@@v7nny3 That is until COVID and now they kick off people city transit that don’t wear masks kind of going in the opposite direction with that equal rights.
@@MA-vd3ln her sitting in the back or front isnt killing anyone. YOU not wearing a mask is not only putting you at risk but others as well. these sistuations are not comparable. do better!
Sad part is, this was barely 10 years after the Nuremberg trials, where it was declared that excuses like “just following orders, just doing my job, the law is the law” is never an excuse for tyranny.
Thank you Rosa Parks❤ because of you❤❤ people of color can speak out against racism, discrimination & inequality ❤ a ture AMERICAN HERO ❤❤ QUEEN ROSA PARKS
Rosa was the Seond person.. not the first Black woman......................... she was LIGHT SKINNED thats why she was the Chosen black woman................................. Claudette Colvin was the first black woman as a teen..
Everytime I watched a video I always look at some details on the video and I find out is that when the he cop enter the bus, I noticed the two couples exciting the bus is just heart breaking. Nothing having the freedom to to say or do something is totally sad
There is no way that should never happens to her in the first place she only wanted to help Rhodes people that who was poor just like others people just like Rosa parks because she is part of my family so yeah like really just let she in that set like she like tooo
The crazy thing is it should make everybody uncomfortable because this shit shouldn’t exist . We should love everybody no matter what but the worlds not like that so I thank Rosa parks for her courage that day .
Learning about the Civil rights movement in woman history and it was so amazing how black people walked for over a year boycotting the buses that's not easy walking to work everyday in the snow and hot sun rosa parks made a difference
@@solojack100 what?.. you have to do the research.. isn't rude.. its upto you.. to learn real true history.. rather than it be taught to you with misinformation, half-truths and full lies.. grow up or b quite
See, I find it weird how some stupid people think they can pick on people because of their skin color.... And, I don't even see anything wrong in skin color! It just never made any sense to me.
If Clarence Thomas and black republicans like Candace Owens, Tim Scott, and Bryon Donalds had their way, Jim Crow would come back to the entire country.
I just watched this movie for the first time last night and absolutely loved it. I am disgusted by the way African-Americans were treated back then. I couldn't believe that the court had a white Bible and a black Bible. Not only did they disrespect African-Americans they were disrespecting God to. It makes me absolutely sick and disgusted. Rosa Parks is a hero!!!!! I am from Louisiana and had to move away because of what goes on in the south. Blacks are treated poorly down south and the blacks and whites are still segregated. I live out west now and you see blacks living in white neighborhoods. Life is different here. I took my husband to Louisiana to visit, he has never been and he asked me why black and whites were segregated. I said oh, you notice that to? I had a white childhood friend that I'm no longer friends with bc he was upset I was friends with a black man. What I don't get was he tried to look and act black, even hung out with African Americans but didn't like that I had a black friend. I don't understand this.
And you know whats crazy about racism its literally jus the color in the skin. There was no war no betrayal just skin. When someone hates you its mainly because you did something to them not the way they look. Thats just ridiculous!
These comments say everything.. people really haven't a clue.. that what Rosa did was staged.. she wasn't tired.. her feet were not hurting.. Fools.. LONG LIVE CLAUDETTE COLVIN..
First of all. No. Nothing said here is accurate. Rosa Parks not getting was not staged. And she never said her feet were hurting. She didn't have to get up. People knew and still know about Claudette Colvin, and they knew what happened to her wasn't fair. But Claudette didn't spark any boycotts or protests which is why she didn't get her own movie.
Nothing has changed Rosa. I’m so sorry my dearest friend! Rosa, you fought hard and I have nothing but respect for what you did, as an immigrant myself, I’m only sad to report that nothing has changed Rosa. Police were hateful and cruel and corrupt to the bone back then and they are even more so now in our modern day and time. What you did gives me hope to maybe see hate be completely wiped out by love and peace.
And hatred towards these minority groups who are trying to speak against the corruption of our officers has never been so high. Sadly it really takes me back to these horrible times.
