Did Rosa Parks break the law?

Answer 1

Yes, she did break the law, because, she didn't give her seat up to a white man.. You, see back then, the blacks where aloud to sit in the middle and the back of the bus, but if there was room for them they could sit in the middle. And if there was three in a row all of them had to get up not just one! :)

Answer 2

Yes (and so was Christ), but not exactly like the word "criminal" implies.

Sometimes to raise awareness of an injustice or other societal problem, demonstrations and protests may involve peaceful "civil disobedience." Sometimes that includes non-harmful crimes like obstructing free public access by lying in front of a bulldozer to stop destruction of a beloved public structure, or chaining yourself to a building or fence to stop access. Another protest action that involved disobeying a minor victimless law for attention to the cause was the time Rosa Parks broke the law when she sat in the front of the bus. At that time, blacks were not allowed to sit there, they were forced to ride in the back of the bus, giving the better seats up front to the white bus riders. Rosa Parks broke that law and used that nonviolent resistance to draw attention to the racial inequality in the United States at that time at the start of the US Civil Rights Movement.

As mentioned above, Christ used civil disobedience, as did Mahatma Gandhi in India. Another example is, when in South Africa, apartheid was defied by Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Steve Biko. And there were the very famous acts of disobedience at the Boston Tea Party, and when Susan B. Anthony voted when women did not have that right.

Answer 3

Rosa Parks did not break the law. There was no law that required African Americans to surrender their seats to European Americans, and to move to the back of a bus. That was an established custom in 1950, in the southern states, but not a law.

Answer 4

She broke the local law of not giving up her bus seat to a white man. America, like South Africa, had laws that were akin to Apartheid. Blacks were not allowed at that time to use whites facilities, etc.

Answer 5

''She was a black and black people were not allowed to sit in the front of the bus and she stood up for that. So she stood up for racism.''
