Summer Learning Journey
Week 3.
Activity 2: Chose Your Own
for this activity, choose one person and read all about them. On your bog provide us with, the name of the person a description of the work they do/ have done. An explanation of how they/ their work had an impact on peoples lives. For this activity I have chosen Rosa Parks.
In the 1950's to the 1960's black men and women were forced to be seperated from everyone else. At this time, there were laws that kept black and white people separated - they went to different schools, used different toilets and even sat in different parts of a bus. They ate in different areas of a restaurant. This was called segregation. With these type of laws there were many protests against them. Joining these protests was an African American women named Rosa Parks. In 1955 Rosa Parks boarded a bus in Alabama and because of segregation all the seats meant for black people were taken up so she decided she would sit in the white section of the bus. But on one of the stops she refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white passenger. This brave action that Rosa Parks made history and changed the way that African Americans (people of colour) got treated in America. What Rose Parks did put every other black advicater out of the books. She did what no other girl/ lady would ever think of doing! Rosa Parks changed the way the americans and every other country think about treating others.
Thank you for reading this🙋
Kia ora Georgia,
ReplyDeleteI am really impressed with how you are going with your writing - ka pai!
Why do you think there was so much segregation at that time? Why do you think she chose to do this? How do you think she felt? What would you have done if you were her? I would love to hear your opinion.
Keep up the great work, Georgia! I have given you a digital AWHI for this post. I can't wait to read more from you.
