MLK

A boycott is when people refuse to buy something. Many people in Montgomery boycotted the buses because black people were not allowed to sit where they wanted. Rosa Parks was actually arrested because she tried to sit in front of the bus! Martin Luther King lead the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It took a year for the rules to be changed but the boycott worked!

Integration means that people from different backgrounds can live and work together. Martin Luther King helped to change the laws so that America could be an integrated country. He got started by leading the bus boycott so that the buses in Montgomery could be integrated.

This is our class blog for the Martin Luther King project. Everyone should chose one word from our vocabulary list and use that list to explain about the life and work of Dr. King. Please write one paragraph about the word you chose. Give the definition in the first sentence and then use the next two or three sentences to show how the word connects the Martin Luther King's life. Please put your name in the header for your post along with the word you used. Thank you, Mr. Fishbane
