MOTHER OF CIVIL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMMOVEMENTS

by Spéak Speare

In 1955, discrimination among black people is covering throughout the American South.

A law was plastered that the isolation of black and American, offers and waivers the right of Africans', and were treated dishonorably.

It was a breezy December 1, 1955, when a 42-year-old woman went to Court Square as usual to get reach the Cleveland Avenue Bus, and as she got into the charabanc, the sense and the ambiance of uneasiness and silence welcomed her. She paid her fare and took a glaze on the driver who was merely familiar and she thought, she might have been encountered him a few years ago. A fixed window casement was nigh in a vacant seat, as she moved to it and sit.

Wandering her oculus, she saw the man sitting next to the window and a woman standing.

Next stop, she didn't know that in that day and time would be the heavy change of her

existence. Whites were entering the wordless bus and filled the white rests, but since much of

All eyes were on them, and that scene made them astounding.

"Do it." She said and didn't even stammer.

The bus driver got out and waited in distance from the bulk for the police to come, and

she was still, and seated on her spot. The woman didn't try to think or expect something, for she

knew that everything is possible. She could be tortured, beaten nor burden the things that could

tear her apart. She'd noticed that some of the passengers were leaving, and some remains quiet,

and whispers or low voices are only caught. Latterly, two policemen came as it was awaited.
