Title: How did Rosa Parks change America? LO: To investigate the significance of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

In 1955 busses were segregated , meaning that white people sat at the front and black people sat at the back. One day a bus driver told Rosa Parks to stand up to let a white person sit down. She refused to move. She was arrested by the police and fined $14. She refused to pay saying the law was illegal. Eventually the Supreme Court in America declared the bus segregation illegal.
