1st Influence: The Way it All Began


Even though the bus incident was an accident, Rosa Parks sparked up the need for a 381 day long boycott against the city buses. Some may say that this was the beginnging of the wake up call for the U.S. This could also be considered the beginning of the end of racial segregation. Many could think of Rosa Parks as "The accident waiting to happen." Normally this would be a bad thing, but not in this case. Now it means that Rosa Parks' incident was an event that many of the blacks were hoping would happen, a chance to make a change. But not a violent one, a boycott. Not many could dream of having the patience that these people did in waiting for their freedom.
