Segregation in the bus: white people in the front , black people in the back.
If the front of the bus was crowded, black people had to give up their seats for white passengers
During the Bus Boycott, black people refused to take the bus, to force the bus company to lift the racist rules.
This was successful. The bus company almost went bankrupt and eventually changed the rules, allowing free choice of seats for everybody.

Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her seat to a white passenger in the bus.

Slide 22 - Video

Come on, come on
I see no changes, wake up in the morning, and I ask myself
Is life worth living, should I blast myself?
I'm tired of bein' poor, and even worse I'm black
My stomach hurts, so I'm lookin' for a purse to snatch

Cops give a damn about a negro
Pull the trigger, kill a nigga, he's a hero
Give the crack to the kids who the hell cares
One less hungry mouth on the welfare
I see no changes, all I see is racist faces
Misplaced hate makes disgrace to races
We under, I wonder what it takes to make this
One better place, let's erase the wasted


And although it seems heaven sent
We ain't ready, to see a black President
It ain't a secret, don't conceal the fact
The penitentiary's packed, and it's filled with blacks
