What Rosa Parks did for the US
Rosa Parks has been called the Mother of the Civil Rights Movement, but she is much more than that. This one woman changed the history of the United States more than almost any other person. By igniting the spirit of the masses this one woman personally changed the lives of millions of people. She is the reason for the freedom that is now enjoyed by all citizens of the United States.
Think how far reaching her one act of civil disobedience has been. The civil rights movement brought about the end of legalized racial discrimination in the US. Those born in the late 60s and 70s were raised in an era where equality was enforced. Those children born today will not know legalized discrimination. They will not experience the Government turning a blind eye to the lynching and brutalizing of the disenfranchised. They will not experience the denial of an adequate education because of the color of one’s skin.
Ask yourself if the lives of your children and their peers will be different than that of your parents. Now, if you agree with racial discrimination, abuse of minorities, housing and employment discrimination, or simply being able to openly look down on a person just because of their ethnicity, you may not appreciate my opinion. You may even disagree.
Did the Civil Rights Movement improve life? If so, how? If not, why not? Support your opinion.
I believe that we have all benefited. I do not agree with racial discrimination or lynching or police brutality. Yep, I’d call it a success.
