Rosa Parks headed to
work on December 1,
1995, on the
Cleveland Avenue
bus to Court Square.
It was a typical
prewinter morning in
the Alabama capital,
chilly and raw,
topcoat weather.
Shortly after 5:00 P.M.,
Rosa Parks clocked out of
work and walked the
block to Court Square to
wait for her bus home. It
had been a hard day, and
her body ached, form her
feet swollen from the
constant standing to her
shoulders throbbing from
the strain and her chronic
bursitis.
Her formal dignified
“No”, uttered on a
suppertime bus in the
cradle of the Confederacy
as darkness fell, ignited
the collective “no” of
black history in America,
a defiance as liberating as
John Brown’s on the
gallows in Harpers Ferry.
Her majestic use of
“may” rather than
“can” put Parks on
the high ground,
establishing her as a
protestor, not a
victim. “When I
made that
decision”, Parks
stated later, “I knew
I had the strength of
my ancestor with
me” and obviously
their dignity as well.
When Parks looked up at Blake,
his hard, thoughtless scowl
filled her with pity. She felt
fearless, bold, and serene. “Are
you going to stand up? The
driver demanded. Rosa Parks
looked straight at him and said
“No.” Flustered and not quite
sure what to do, Blake retorted,
“Well, I’m going to have you
arrested.” And Parks still
sitting next to the window,
replied softly, “You may do
that”.
There were several empty
spaces at the whites-only
front of the bus but at the
next two stops enough
white passengers got on to
nearly fill up the front
section and there was a
white man left standing. The
driver barked "Move y'all, I
want those two seats", to
give space to James F. Blake.
A stony silence fell over the
bus as nobody move.

12. Ángel: Rosa Parks was an amazing woman who
did a change in a time when that was very difficult
to do that. She changed the rules of the bus and
supported the future movement of Martin Luther
king and she was awarded by Eleanor Roosevelt. Is
amazing know how those important characters on
the history has a kind of relationship
Araceli: I like this story because it describes how was the
discrimination to African American people, I was
thinking about the bad times that most of the society
passed and how this affected them. It was incredible the
way that “white” people discriminates “black” people,
so in this story we could find time to reflect about the
bad things that people use to do, also to remember how
“black” people suffered and thanks to this suffering and
to fight about the equality, we could change the mind of
the world.

13. Alejandro: I like the story because it shows us how
important can be a single action in the lifes of many
people (in the case of Rosa Parks saying "no") and
also that we can realize about the dignity of Rosa
as we saw in the poem and the impact that thiss
succes has.
Monica: What I liked the most from Rosa Parks, in
both genres, the biography and the poem was
definetly how she was described, as a woman who
never gave up, and that always fought for her rights
and for the rights of the people like her. I have to
mention that the biography was better than the poem,
because it provides more information about Rosa, and
also it includes a background at the beginning,
permiting us to have a better understanding of the
situation, in comparison to the poem that was short,
with few details, and less information.

14. Renato: I like the two texts because they showed a
very simple action that made an extraordinary
change in everybody's life in the U.S.A.Also, I like
how she stop that discrimination against black
people. The way she defended her ideals and the
way she tried to stop the madness that white
people put on black people
Roque: My opinion of this lecture and about this
person I considera a example of fight for the right of
everybody reserves and not only un the rights, we
will use that example in different things of the daily
life.
