She was arrested on December 1st, 1955 because after a long day of work, she was tired and she decided to take a seat on the bus on her ride home. Then, she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger, so she was arrested for disobeying an Alabama law (requiring black people to give their seats to white people when the bus was full). Her birthday (February 4th) and the day she was arrested (December 1) have both become Rosa Parks Day, commemorated in the U.S. states of California and Ohio.

He is in the eyes of the fans a courageous defender of american rights and african-american rights he has indicted the united states for the racial segregation of the black community. However, his critics accuse him of preaching racism, black supremacy and force.
Rosa Parks was born February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, alabama Usa, and died October 24, 2005 in Michigan. It was a seamstress who became an iconic figure in the struggle against racial segregation in the United States, which earned her the nickname of mother of the civil rights movement from the U.S congress.
The Black Panther party is an Afro-American revolutionary movement formed in california in 1966 by Bobby Seale and Huey P. Newton which reached a national scale before collapsing due to internal tensions and actions by the state.
- Rosa Parks was born in 1913 in Tuskegee. She was a black dressmaker of 42 years old. She is known because she had the courage to ignore the law. Indeed, on December 1st 1955, in Montgomery, she sat in a bus, even if she knew that it was forbidden. She refused to stand up in the bus and she also refused to let her seat to a white man. It wasn't allowed, at that time, for black people, to sit in a bus. So the bus driver called the police : Rosa had been arrested and jailed. She is an important symbol for black people because of her courage. Indeed, even if she worked for white people, she refused to be submitted. She fought against unfairness. She made all black people fight for their rights. That's why people say that Rosa Parks was the woman who stayed standing while she was sitting.
- Black Panthers was a group of black people created in 1966 by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. They took as example Malcolm X, Franz Fanon and Mao. Black Panthers tried to learn to black people how to defend themselves. They used to make groups for Self Defense. Indeed, they fought against attacks of the police and of white racists . By the time, they became famous and a lot of black people joined them. By charity, they gave breakfasts to black children and they even created the "Oakland Community School" to give them an education. Unfortunately, because of their violence, in 1973, it was the end of Black Panthers. Indeed, there were too much died or jailed people.

He was born just a few days after an attack of the Klu Klux Klan in his house in Omaha. Because of his skin, he was called the "Red". His grand mother had been raped by a white man. Therefore, Malcolm X began to hate this man. At five years old, the Klu Klux Klan burned his house because Malcolm's father was considered as a revolutionary. In 1931, the Klu Klux Klan even killed five of Malcolm's brothers and his father. After all these events, he considered himself as "the most angry black man of America". Then, he joined the Nation of Islam but was quickly excluded because of people's jalousy. In 1964, he created the Muslim Mosque and he also kept on fighting for black people's rights. Unfortunately, he was killed on February 21st 1965 by three members of Black Muslim. They killed him because they were jealous of Malcolm's fame.

Martin Luther King was a pacifist writer. He received later the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He won a Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977.
Martin Luther King gave a speech on civil rights August 28, 1963 on the steps of the famous monument called the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. This speech is generally considered one of the most influential of the 20th century. It clearly illustrates the desire to see in the future white people coexist in harmony and live as equal to black people.
