ROSA PARKS AND PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON

Wallpaper Description:

President Bill Clinton honored Rosa Parks in his State of the Union address, saying, "She's sitting down with the first lady tonight, and she may get up or not as she chooses." On December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa refused to obey bus driver James F. Blake's order that she give up her seat in the colored section to a white passenger, after the white section was filled. Rosa was not the first person to resist bus segregation. Others had taken similar steps, including Irene Morgan in 1946, Sarah Louise Keys in 1955, and the members of the Browder v. Gayle lawsuit (Claudette Colvin, Aurelia Browder, Susie McDonald, and Mary Louise Smith) who were arrested in Montgomery months before Rosa . NAACP organizers believed that Rosa was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge after her arrest for civil disobedience in violating Alabama segregation laws, although eventually her case became bogged down in the state courts while the Browder v. Gayle case succeeded.
