Rosa Parks, 1913-2005: Mother of the American Civil Rights Movement
Until the nineteen sixties, black people in many parts of the United States did not have the same civil rights as white people. Laws in the American South kept the two races separate. These laws forced black people to attend separate schools, live in separate areas of a city and sit in separate areas on a bus.
On December first, nineteen fifty-five, in the southern city of Montgomery, Alabama, a forty-two year old black woman got on a city bus. The law at that time required black people seated in one area of the bus to give up their seats to white people who wanted them. The woman refused to do this and was arrested.
This act of peaceful disobedience started protests in Montgomery that led to legal changes in minority rights in the United States. The woman who started it was Rosa Parks. Today, we tell her story.
She was born Rosa Louise McCauley in nineteen-thirteen in Tuskegee, Alabama. She attended local schools until she was eleven years old. Then she was sent to school in Montgomery. She left high school early to care for her sick grandmother, then to care for her mother. She did not finish high school until she was twenty-one.
Rosa married Raymond Parks in nineteen thirty-two. He was a barber who cut men's hair. He was also a civil rights activist. Together, they worked for the local group of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In nineteen forty-three, Mrs. Parks became an officer in the group and later its youth leader.
Rosa Parks was a seamstress in Montgomery. She worked sewing clothes from the nineteen thirties until nineteen fifty-five. Then she became a representation of freedom for millions of African-Americans.
In much of the American South in the nineteen fifties, the first rows of seats on city buses were for white people only. Black people sat in the back of the bus. Both groups could sit in a middle area. However, black people sitting in that part of the bus were expected to leave their seats if a white person wanted to sit there.
Rosa Parks and three other black people were seated in the middle area of the bus when a white person got on the bus and wanted a seat. The bus driver demanded that all four black people leave their seats so the white person would not have to sit next to any of them. The three other blacks got up, but Mrs. Parks refused. She was arrested.
In her later years, Rosa Parks was often asked how much relations between the races had improved since the civil rights laws were passed in the nineteen sixties. She thought there was still a long way to go. Yet she remained the face of the movement for racial equality in the United States.
Rosa Parks died on October twenty-fourth, two thousand five. She was ninety-two years old. Her body lay in honor in the United States Capitol building in Washington. She was the first American woman to be so honored. Thirty thousand people walked silently past her body to show their respect.
Representative Conyers spoke about what this woman of quiet strength meant to the nation. He said: There are very few people who can say their actions and conduct changed the face of the nation. Rosa Parks is one of those individuals.
Rosa Parks meant a lot to many Americans. Four thousand people attended her funeral in Detroit, Michigan. Among them were former President Bill Clinton, his wife Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
President Clinton spoke about remembering the separation of the races on buses in the South when he was a boy. He said that Rosa Parks helped to set all Americans free. He said the world knows of her because of a single act of bravery that struck a deadly blow to racial hatred.

Rosa Parks
Have you ever heard about Rosa Parks?
Rosa Louise McCauley was born on February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama.
Due to health problems in Rose’s family, she was forced to interrupt her studies and began working as a seamstress. When her parents, James and Leona McCauley, separated she moved to Montgomery, where she lived with her grandparents and by that Rosa was exposed to the realities of segregation. Like that day when her grandfather protected their farm from a group of men from the so called KKK (KuKluxKlan) - a group known for killing African Americans, and her grandfather stood out front, protecting their home as the KKK marched by.
Later in 1932, she married Raymond Parks, who was a barber and also a member of NAACP (The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) which Rosa was also part of.
Rosa Parks became famous on December 1, 1955 when she refused to give up her seat. During this time in Montgomery, Alabama the local buses were also segregated, whites would be in front of the bus and colored people would come to the front of the bus to pay their bus fare but then leave the bus and go to the back door to seat at the back of the bus.
Rosa along with three other black passengers were told to give up their seats to a white male passenger. She refused and was arrested.
The bus boycott was organized on the day of Rosa’s trial, December 5, 1955 where she was found guilty. The boycott lasted 381 days with the 26 years old reverend Martin Luther King Jr. as their leader.
As a result of this event, that changed the history of the United States, Rose became known and received several awards such as the Congressional Gold Medal, in 1999.
Rosa Parks died on October 24, 2005 at the age of 92. She was the first woman and the second African American to lie in honor at the US Capitol Rotunda, so the nation could pay its respects to the woman whose courage had changed the lives of so many.

Walking In Black History Trailer and PR
Join 40 teens and young adults from Erie on a journey of discovery to the landmarks of the American Civil Rights movement -- Birmingham, Tuskegee, Selma, Montgomery and more -- in WQLN-TV's premiere presentation of Walking In Black History, a film by Tom Weber, Thursday, Feb. 8, at 8 p.m.
June 2017 marked the 25th anniversary of the yearly bus trip, founded by Rev. Herlies Murphy, Pastor of Community Baptist Church in Erie, in 1992. Students from Erie area schools apply to go on the trip, which is free of charge to those who are selected. Weber rode along from start to finish, filming everything with a small handheld camcorder.
Gary N. Horton, Executive Director of the Urban Erie Community
Development Corporation, picked up the torch from Rev. Murphy and has led the annual trip for more than two decades. Mr. Horton is Executive Producer of the film.
One of the highlights of the film is a tree-planting ceremony in memory of Rev. Murphy at Canaan Hill Primitive Baptist Church, a significant point on the Selma-Montgomery Historic Trail.
On the first day, we visit the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham,
where four young girls lost their lives in a racist bombing in September 1963, as well as the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, a dramatic museum of the civil rights movement.
On the second day, we drive through Montgomery in the rain, briefly
visiting Alabama State University's sprawling campus and the Rosa Parks Museum and spending more time at the Southern Poverty Law Center. We then visit Canaan Hill and its sister congregation at Beulah Land, a few miles away, where we hear an inspiring sermon by Elder Tom Gardner and feast on roasted corn and Alabama-style barbecue.
We spend most of the third day in and around Tuskegee University, visiting school founder Booker T. Washington's residence, built from bricks made on campus by Tuskegee students. We also spend time at the George Washington Carver Museum, on campus, and at Moton Field, home of the world-renowned Tuskegee Airmen of World War II. A reception follows in the munipal building, with song and dance performances by some of the Erie students.
Leaving Tuskegee on the fourth day, we travel to Atlanta, where we visit the Martin Luther King Jr. Center for Nonviolent Social Change. This large complex includes Dr. King's birth home as well as the Ebenezer Baptist Church where he ministered, a comprehensive museum and library, and Dr. King and Mrs. Coretta King's crypt.
On the final day, we drive overnight to Washington, D.C., where a visit to the Martin Luther King Memorial on the National Mall provides a moment to reflect on what we have seen. The students strike up a rousing version of When The Saints Go Marching In over the final few miles back home to Erie.
The Dreamer, a song about Dr. King by the late Texas songwriter Tim
Henderson, is used throughout the film by permission of Henderson's widow Marian. The song is part of the permanent collection of the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis.
Weber is an Erie native with numerous independent films to his credit. His films that have previously aired on WQLN include A Few Things About Artists (2018), an exploration of visual arts and artists in the Erie area; 1000 (2017), a collaboration with Abdullah Washington that features local people striving for excellence; and The Trouble With Poets (2014), a performance documentary featuring locally based poets such as Washington, Sean Thomas Dougherty,
Monica Igras and Chuck Joy.
Rosa Parks House to be Shown After Odyssey
(30 Mar 2018) FOR CLEAN VERSION SEE STORY NUMBER: apus094868
The small, tired house that served as a refuge in Detroit for civil rights icon Rosa Parks is now looking for a new home.
The house was abandoned and had been on a demolition list in Detroit until it was bought by Parks' niece Rhea McCauley after the financial crisis in 2008. She donated it to artist Ryan Mendoza, who moved it to Berlin after the city rejected the family pleas to preserve it.
Mendoza brought it back to the United States last month with Brown University's backing, and was reassembling it when the Ivy League school abruptly cancelled the weeks-long exhibit earlier this month.
Brown cited an unspecified dispute involving the Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development, an organization that has feuded with Rosa Parks relatives.
Still, volunteers stepped in to assemble the house as much as possible so that it can be displayed to the public for free for two days during the Easter weekend.
Relatives say Parks lived in the three-bedroom, one-bathroom house with her brother, his wife and 15 other people after she sparked the Montgomery bus boycott.
Let me remind everybody of this: in the south, on average, every three days a black person was lynched from 1915 to 1955. So it wasn't fair. Never mind the economy, it wasn't a good place to 'live.' And, of course, Rosa Parks had to worry about her safety in America's south. So this is the story of America, this house. It's the story of Detroit, this house. And it's the story of the great Rosa Parks, said civil rights activist Ray Rickman, who worked with Parks in Detroit.
Mendoza, McCauley and many members of the Rhode Island community agreed. They say in the house, they see the story of so many African Americans who migrated north, only to face redlining and other discrimination that has affected generations of black Americans.

Interesting Facts On Rosa Parks - Unknown Amazing Facts About Rosa Parks
What Would Rosa Parks Think about America Today? .It’s only natural to think about civil rights activist Rosa Parks this time of year—in which she was arrested during the bus boycott and in which the
boycott ended more than a year later. It’s also natural to think about what Parks would say if she were alive today and a witness to vote suppression, shootings of
unarmed black men by police and open racism. Former TV news anchor and reporter Nita Wiggins interviewed Parks and was profoundly changed by the experience. She can
share some of the wisdom Parks shared with her as well as fill audiences in on Parks’ activism outside of civil rights. Nita can also talk about her visit to the
Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, Ala., last summer and ways Parks worked to stop lynchings. With the hit movie “The Green Book” currently in theaters bringing
segregation back to mind, this is a discussion you won’t want to miss. Nita is a U.S. citizen currently teaching journalism in France. She is the author of the upcoming book “Civil Rights Baby.”

Black History, White Apology
Excerpt from the NAACP Image Award nominated documentary Dare Not Walk Alone describes white racism in 1964 and an apology 40 years later from the same church that had African Americans arrested for trying to worship there.
Notes:
1. This 1964 protest of church segregation was part of a campaign of non-violence waged in St. Augustine, Florida, to draw national attention to Jim Crow laws (at that time the city was Florida's biggest tourst attraction).
2. White and black protestors went to church together but were hauled away separately by the police (who were exclusively white--they particularly resented white protestors and put police dogs in the paddy wagon with them).
3. The minister who conducted the service of apology was not around at the time of the incident but in 2004 he felt it was time that the church tried to make amends.
March On Montgomery, Chris' Hot Dogs, Hank Williams & Alabama BBQ
This full time RV living on the road in a vintage GMC motorhome video is loaded. Today was a busy day as we met up with two sets of subscribers in Montgomery, AL. First of we got picked up and given a tour of Mongomery by the Portable Preppers.
On this tour we started out cruising into downtown where we saw the historical church that Martin Luther King ministered at. Right in front of the church was the very road that the Montgomery Civil Rights March on the capitol took place. Once we wrapped up at the MLK church, we drove by the wall mural painting commemorating the Civil Rights March, on our way to the Rosa Parks Museum where you are able to garner some information on her story and part in the Civil Rights Movement. All this touring around made us hungry and thirsty, so we headed over to a Mongomery, Alabama icon to eat.
This iconic restaurant was called Chris' Hot Dogs, which has been serving citizens, visitors and tourists since 1917. While there we gotto chat with one of the owners about the folks we had been served there prior to ordering our food.
I ordered the Hotdog and Hamburger combo and especially enjoyed the chili cheese dogs. If your are ever in Montgomery you gotta check this tourism icon. After eating we did more touring around the historic parts of Montgomery before heading for the areas biggest tourist attraction, which is the grave site of Hank Williams.
Once we were done being tourists we headed back to the GMC motorhome at the Montgomery South RV Park for some RV living chatter. Once the Portable Preppers headed off we met up with Jim the owner of the Montgomery South RV Park who goes by 48BusMan on YouTube.
The two of us and Jim went over to Dreamland Barbacue to get introduced to authentic Alabama BBQ. Check out tomorrows vlog to find out my conclusions on Alabama BBQ Barbacue VS Texas Barbaque VS Kansas City BBQ.

SUMMARY
=======
Montgomery is the capital city of the U.S. state of Alabama and the county seat of Montgomery County. Named for Richard Montgomery, it stands beside the Alabama River, on the coastal Plain of the Gulf of Mexico. In the 2010 Census, Montgomery's population was 205,764. It is the second most populous city in Alabama, after Birmingham, and is the 118th most populous in the United States. The Montgomery Metropolitan Statistical Area's population in 2010 was estimated at 374,536; it is the fourth largest in the state and 136th among United States metropolitan areas.The city was incorporated in 1819 as a merger of two towns situated along the Alabama River. It became the state capital in 1846, representing the shift of power to the south-central area of Alabama with the growth of cotton as a commodity crop of the Black Belt and the rise of Mobile as a mercantile port on the Gulf Coast. In February 1861, Montgomery was chosen the first capital of the Confederate States of America, which it remained until the Confederate seat of government moved to Richmond, Virginia, in May of that year. In the middle of the 20th century, Montgomery was a major center of events and protests in the Civil Rights Movement, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the Selma to Montgomery marches.
In addition to housing many Alabama government agencies, Montgomery has a large military presence, due to Maxwell Air Force Base; public universities Alabama State University, Troy University (Montgomery campus), and Auburn University at Montgomery; two private post-secondary institutions, Faulkner University and Huntingdon College; high-tech manufacturing, including Hyundai Motor Manufacturing Alabama; and many cultural attractions, such as the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.
Two ships of the United States Navy have been named after the city, including USS Montgomery.Montgomery has also been recognized nationally for its downtown revitalization and new urbanism projects. It was one of the first cities in the nation to implement Smart Code Zoning.
History of the Civil Rights Movement
History of the Civil Rights Movement
Beginning with the end of the U.S. Civil War in 1865, African Americans toiled to reach equal status in the eyes of the law. Not only that, they also struggled against abuse – both physical and mental – by racist members of society. Starting with the right to vote, and then laboring to integrate schools and other aspects of everyday life, the Civil Rights Movement made huge strides over a century of work. While the crusade may never truly be over, many considered the election of the country’s first African American President to be a turning point in the battle. In this video, explores the history of the United States’ Civil Rights Movement.
