Rosa Parks documentary: Demystifying the historic bus ride (civil rights history series)

Learn about the rebellious life of Mrs. Rosa Parks and see how her brave stance earned her the title, mother of the civil rights movement.
In this Rosa Parks biography, we retrace her historic bus ride; walk you through the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, Alabama; and explain how city leaders, including Martin Luther King, fought the racist segregation laws during the Montgomery Bus Boycott.
We also trace the many factors that led to Rosa’s defiant stance - from the social abuse of Black Americans to the lynching of Emmett Till. This is crash course Black American History is the definitive Rosa Parks story.
Our documentary is made for everyone - history buffs, young students, teachers, curious adults - and can be consumed at any time - from Black History Month to Martin Luther King Jr. Day and any other time in between.

    These videos are all SO well done! What I love about your channel so far is that you all are covering historical topics that other KZread history channels largely haven't. (Nothing against WWII or the Civil War but it's really nice to learn more about other topics that were in many ways just as influential) And speaking of learning more. Wow! I already knew Parks wasn't the "frail old lady with tired feet" many of us were taught in schools, but I never knew that Black and other non-white bus riders were forced to pay their fare, GET OFF THE BUS, and re-board in the back. Nor did I know that there was a section of the bus where races could both sit so Parks wasn't even breaking any (racist) law. Facts like this are so crazy important because it really emphasizes how truly terrible non-white people were thought of and treated. We've done a terrible job skimming over these facts and stories in the teaching of history. THANK YOU for bringing them more to the forefront. I hope you continue with this series even after upcoming the Little Rock Nine episode and I hope your channel explodes with subscribers so you can reach so many others.

    So many seminal events in the continuing struggle for African-American civil rights can be covered in such detail. I'd like to see the Selma Marches covered. It's very interesting to me these events WERE NOT spontaneous as is often thought but were the result of meticulous planning, favorable circumstances and God's Will. My favorite example of all of this is recounted in Taylor Branch's trilogy, Parting The Waters, Pillar Of Fire and At Canaan's Edge.

    Another thing that struck me about participants in the Civil Rights movement was that most of them had training in the history of non-violent protest, i.e. Gandhi, and how to respond to the violent opposition encountered. There numerous attorneys who challenged the Constitutionality of segregation and voting prohibitions. So again, the movement and hard fought gains were not anything that happened just because Dr. King was made the leader of the Montgomery Bus Boycott. I think this is well worth learning and remembering.
