In your own words explain why Rosa
Parks’ arrest gained the most attention.
She was trained in nonviolence by the Highlander school. She was the
field secretary of the NAACP. Her work in both of these organizations
made her respected. She was a bit older and had lighter skin than the
two girls who were arrested before her. All of these things ensured a
positive view of Parks as the “face” of the segregation case.
What young minister began to teach about
nonviolence in Montgomery?
