African American Segregation

African American Segregation

African Americans have been discriminated and mistreated since the 1800’s. Even now there still is but before there were sit ins, picketing, and even acting nice as a method to solve things. However in December 1 1955, Rosa Parks took a seat and didn’t want to give up her seat for a white person and got arrested. From rebelling like this she created a controversy and boycott against this injustice. This lead to break the law, but actually it wasn’t since in the constitution it stated there is peace among people and equality there’s no person who is greater. Like the Emmet Till incident, he just whistled at a girl and some white people took it offensive. They threw Emmet out and started to beat him up until he died.

          African Americans helped out the situation by doing sit ins and other methods. One of the methods was to love your enemy. They knew if African Americans fought, it would create more controversy and problems so they did the opposite. From all of the loving this created sympathy for some white people who supported them in the rebellion. Another one was to stop using buses so there were less people and less money earned out of all of this. African Americans were smart when they had done the all of these methods. In Emmet Tills incident his mother wanted to have an open casket to show the world how he got beaten up. This shocked the whole world and the murders went to go to court.

          You might ask what did African Americans got out of this?  Well when the bus segregation stopped there was a document made for every body to be equal. To not retaliate against a person if they push, curse or do anything back. However some didn’t made sense if somebody is getting hurt pray that nothing happens to them. In Emmet Tills case there was an unfair justice they let the murders away and admitted they did kill him in a magazine. 

African Americans have been mistreated time and time again and slowly they are being treated as real people how they were supposed to.
