"All Shook Up" Chapter #2

I found this chapter really interesting.  Like I mention it on the previous summary segregation was a real problem during the 50's.  One event that really caught my attention was how Rosa Parks was not afraid to refuse to give her sit to a white passenger on a bus.  As a result she got arrested.  Even though I have learned about Martin Luther King Jr in the past I really never paid much attention to it.  Now that I read about him on this book I admire him.  He is a role model to follow.  I mean just his whole idea of working and fighting until getting justice is inspiring to people.  People stopped using transportation and would walk, hitchhike etc. to get to places.  A year later laws were passed that allowed segregation to stop on public transportation.  I think that since a lot of colored people would use this service when they stopped the company got affected.  Even though they did not like colored people they still wanted their money.  

There were some other events that really caught my eye.  For example, black children were not allowed in white schools.  Furthermore white students had more job opportunities than the blacks.  The black students had faith and wanted to study.  They were hoping for things to get better after obtaining their degree.  Segregation was mostly on the south.  While reading all this I got mad and sad at the same time.  I mean why weren't the black people superior? is it because of the color?.  In my opinion whites and colored people are capable of doing the same thing.  We are all human.
