Montgomery Bus Boycott and Scottsboro Trials
Saturday, January 29, 2011
a)The Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-56 is widely regarded as the event which began the modern civil rights movement. That may overstate the case, but the 381-day boycott was the first sustained mass protest against Jim Crow segregation, it did launch the civil rights careers of Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph David Abernathy, and Fred D. Gray, and it made a worldwide hero of a small, quiet woman named Rosa Parks.
b)In the Scottsboro trials, the prostitutes accused the blacks of rape because she wanted to escape prosecution for immoral acts. Similarly, in TKAM, Mayala also accused Tom to protect her father but Tom was not the rapist.
c)These trials took place in Alabama. And these trials include accusation against Afican-Americans. The lawyer or the judge will defend the accused and but at last the final decision will still be to their disadvantage.
