Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King In the days when black people were forced (1) to submit to the power of the white supremacist system whose unfair practices totally (2) conditioned their lives, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus. Her action began a mass movement that made the nation rethink its (3) tacit acceptance of racial injustice. When she was a child, Parks’ family had sent her to the Industrial School for Girls run by two white women reformers from the North for black girls ages 5 to 14. The school had a difficult relationship with the southern white community and had been burned twice by arsonists. Despite the (4) corroding influence of segregation, Parks later obtained a high school diploma, encouraged by her husband. Together the couple followed the (5) quest for their rights by joining the NAACP. When World War II (6) engulfed the world, Parks worked at Maxwell Air Force base, a federal area where racial discrimination was not allowed. She wrote that this experience opened her eyes to the wider world. Later, she attended the Highlander Folk School in Tennessee, a place that trained people who wanted to lead their community to freedom. She (7) thrived there; in her Autobiography, she said it was the first time she had been at meetings where black people and white people worked together as equals. Rosa Parks was a well-known and respected member of her church and the civil rights organizations in her community. She was not just the stubborn dressmaker the policeman saw on the bus when he (8) resorted to arresting her like a common criminal on December 1, 1955. The women of her church and the Montgomery Women’s Political Council were shocked. They worked all night making leaflets calling people to refuse to go on the buses. They described how they stayed by their windows in the morning and watched as the buses went by empty. They were themselves amazed that the moment had come when people awoke from their (9) slumber  “people just weren’t going to take it any more.” That night the Reverend Martin Luther King, the new minister in town, made his first speech to encourage the continuation of a bus boycott he had no part in planning or foreseeing. As he himself said, the people were leading him.’ As a younger man, he had wondered how America would ever change without violence, even though as a clergyman, he could not (10) acquiesce to such a solution. But in Montgomery he realized that ordinary people fighting for their rights could change a nation. The boycott continued for more than a year. On December 20, 1956, the Supreme Court declared that the law requiring segregated buses was unconstitutional’ All that King had learned about the power of mass movement and nonviolence he took everywhere in, the country, from the farms to the cities, from the (11) slums to the nation’s capital, working for the disenfranchised, joining the antiwar movement, and fighting for economic equality.
