TEXTO DE COMPRENSIÓN LECTORA

Imagine it is 1955 and you live in Montgomery, USA. If you are black, you cannot mix with white people in public places. You cannot go to the same schools, use the same public toilets or sit together on public transport. This is called racial segregation and you could be imprisoned or even killed for not respecting the laws. But in 1955, one black woman refused to give her seat to a white man on a bus. Her name was Rosa Parks. She was a respected member of the black community. She worked as a seamstress in a department store and took the bus to work every day. Because she was black, she had to sit in a separate section, at the back of the bus. December 1st, 1955 was an ordinary day for Rosa. She was travelling home from work when four white passengers got on the bus. The driver told four black passengers to give up their seats. Three of them did, but Rosa refused. Immediately Rosa was arrested and spent the night in prison. Black community leaders, including Martin Luther King Jr. decided to protest. They asked black people not to take the bus. As 75% of bus passengers were black, without them, buses would lose money. For 381 days, Montgomery's black citizens walked everywhere. Finally, segregation on buses was abolished. This was a small victory, but it changed the USA forever. It started the civil rights movement and gave black leaders the confidence to fight for racial equality. Rosa Parks died in 2005. She never saw Americans elect their first African-American president, Barack Obama in 2008. But Obama said that without Rosa he would not be president.
