PS 214 Sec C - Group 4: Week 1 Blog: "There were many main points in this article, but one important one was Martin Luther King and his followers wanting to take a stand and figh..."

All three of our group members had some very good points in the article. Peasley had started this weeks article with a main point of Rosa Parks protesting on the bus in Montgomery and seeing that she was the perfect person for it cause of her belief in god and the good citizen that she is and her take in society. He had also brought up the fact that the speech wasnt illegal in any way and that they weren't there to advocate and violence, but to get there point across and what they believe is right in society.

Chris also mentioned how Martin Luther King had thought that Rosa Parks was the perfect person in the protest because of her social status and her integrity because of her strong beliefs in god and her moral rights. With her standing up for everyone during that incident she has changed history and soon after people looked at things differently and to that day things were different. Without Rosa's protest to this day negros might not have had the rights that they have in this day and age which would have changed society dramatically.

Celina mentioned that there was no reserved section for seating for negros and that negros should have been able to sit wherever they wanted without any trouble. But, due to the fact that the whites over powered the negros back then it didn't really matter whether there was a law or not they still enforced it.

All three are very good points and I agree with them. In my opinion it seems that with Rosa standing up for everyone it has changed the way society is today along with Martin Luther King. Just think of all the racial problems back then with the bus seating and schools back then. Without what Rosa and Martin Luther King had done we as a country and society today could still be having these same peoblems maybe worse. What those two have done was history and people thank them for that. That was what really gave negros rights the same as whites.
