Riding With Rosa Parks

Riding With Rosa Parks

On the Bus Marissa and her mother were riding the bus. They were on their way to Grandma's house. They had to sit in the back seats. Marissa didn't like the back seats.

There was a law that black people had to sit at the back of the bus. Her mother said it was unfair.

Some white people came on the bus. So some of the black people stood up and gave them their seats. That was another part of the law.

Refusing to Stand But one black woman didn't stand up. Her name was Rosa Parks. She didn't want to move from her seat.

The driver told Rosa she had to move, but she said, " No. " Then the driver called the police! The police came and arrested Rosa Parks.
