This page in the book had both secondary and primary, but it was mainly quotes from

Martin Luther King Jr. about the voting rights, integration, segregation, civil

disobedience and protest. It helped us understand the perspectives of African Americans

during this time. We will use this in all pages of rights and responsibilities in the website

since the quotes will be a great way to express our understandings.

NPR, 17 Mar. 2009. Web. 10 Jan. 2014. <http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?

storyId=101719889>.

This is a primary source mixed with some secondary source because the first few

paragraphs explained who Claudette Colvin was and what she did in general. She stood

up for her rights to stay seated on a bus on March 2, 1955. The second portion was words

of Claudette Colvin. Here, she explained her feelings and emotion when she was getting

arrested. It shows how a fifteen year old girl had much courage to stand up for her

constitutional rights and for other African Americans' rights on the Montgomery bus. All

this information helped us on how the boycott started and the connection of Rosa Parks.

We used this information on the page, "Start of the Boycott".

African-Americans' History. From this, we were able ensure some of the information that

we have previously researched. Since this site was provided by the U.S. government, we

This website had links to many primary sources such as important documents and some

pictures. This site, provided by the national government, was helpful for us to use on

pages of our project as quotes and pictures. One picture was of Rosa Parks at the time of

her arrest which we included on her page. There were also her quotes regarding the

Montgomery Bus Boycott.

the words of famous Civil Rights Activists as well as the common people. Some of them

were based on the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the impact to society and the economy

it had. It helped us further understand the life of these people and their opinions about the

event. We used these on the social and economic impact pages of our website because it

was a great way to show how people felt during this time in history.

source, so it allowed us to take quotes from the speech to use his arguments against racial

discrimination and African Americans who should be allowed to vote. He states that the

African Americans are being forced to two choices: either to use the ballot or the bullet.

In this document, it talks about the perspectives of African Americans towards the

government and the laws that they must follow. Some of the quotes are used on the page,

that other than Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and Ralph Abernathy were two other

major leaders of the boycott. In addition, this website included brief biography of Rosa

Parks. What became most valuable to us for this project are the pictures and their

captions. One told us the main anthem sung during the Civil Rights Movement that we

<http://lalalauren2013.blogspot.com/2011/02/black-history-month-rosa-parks.html>.

This website provided us with a picture that we used as one of the banner for all pages. It

is important since she is the figure to know and a person that everyone should know in

the Civil Rights Movement.

"Emancipation Proclamation." Encore Editions. Encore Editions, n.d. Web. 10 Jan. 2014.

<http://www.encore-editions.com/emancipation-proclamation>.

This website provided us a picture of Abraham Lincoln with the background of the

Emancipation Proclamation. We used this picture as the title picture that leads to the

"Emancipation Proclamation" page on our website.

"Feminist Activism." Feminist Activism. N.p., 4 Feb. 2013. Web. 14 Jan. 2014.

<http://feministactivism.com/category/strategic-nonviolent-action/>.

This picture gave us a quote of Rosa Parks which we used to show her legacy. The quote

showed how Parks was not trying to stand out and become well known through her

resistance of segregation. It showed how all she was trying to do, was to stop giving in to

the dominant race: the whites.

"James Meredith Admitted to U of Missippi 1962." James Meredith Admitted to U of Missippi

1962. N.p., n.d. Web. 11 Jan. 2014.

<http://www.historycentral.com/sixty/60/Meredith.html>.

This is a picture of James Meredith, which we used to support Meredith's quote, on our

social impact page. The quote showed how the Negros needed to stop being afraid of the

consequences of their actions and to continue to fight for equality.

"The Jim Crow Museum . . ." Normatalksabout. The Liquorice Theme, 22 Apr. 2012. Web. 10

Jan. 2014. <http://normatalksaboutwriting.wordpress.com/2012/04/22/the-jim-crow-

museum/>.

This website provided us with a picture of the Jim Crow Laws. It is a map of the United

States with the states that have adopted the Jim Crow Laws shaded red. It is an easy way

to visualize where segregation and discrimination was most severe and where most

African Americans lived. From the picture, it is obvious that most if not all the shaded

states are in the southeast of the United States where the Civil Rights Movement took

place. We used this picture on the "Jim Crow Laws" page along with other pictures.

"Pic of the Month - February 2013." Pic of the Month - February 2013. The Henry Ford, Feb.

2013. Web. 26 Dec. 2013. <http://www.thehenryford.org/exhibits/pic/2013/13_feb.asp>.

This site talked about Rosa Parks along with the Jim Crow Laws in the south. This gave

us background information that we used in our website. It let us understand the life of the

African Americans during this time who were unable to utilize their rights given by the

federal government.

"Pic of the Month - January 2012." Pic of the Month - January 2012. The Henry Ford, Jan. 2013.

Web. 26 Dec. 2013. <http://www.thehenryford.org/exhibits/pic/2012/12_jan.asp>.

This site had facts about the bus Rosa Parks was riding when she decided to stand up for

her rights and stay seated. It also included information about the event that happened

inside that bus on December 1, 1955. We used this information to our knowledge,

building background information about the Montgomery Bus Boycott. What we included

in our website is the picture on this source that showed the actual bus Rosa Parks rode.

"The Reconstruction Era." The Reconstruction Era. Legends of America, 2002. Web. 10 Jan.

2014. <http://www.legendsofamerica.com/ah-reconstruction3.html>.

This page provided us with a picture that we used as a title picture of the Reconstruction

Era. It is a picture of a man, a carpetbagger. At first, we did not understand the meaning

of the picture, however, this website also had information about the Reconstruction Era

that we were able to use in out "Ending Slavery" page and were able to make a

connection with the picture.

"Slave Trade from Africa to the Americas, 1650-1860." Maps. Unc.edu, n.d. Web. 19 Jan. 2014.

<http://www.unc.edu/wrc/maps.html>.

This picture is of a map of the Atlantic that shows the routes of slave trade with Africa

and the Americas. It represents how long slave trade continued and let us understand the

approximate amount of slaves brought to which area of the two continents. Also, it

showed the plantations the African captives were sent to.

"Teaneck Woman among the Last Remaining Pioneers of North Jersey's Civil Rights

Movement." The Record. North Jersey Media Group, n.d. Web. 20 Jan. 2014.

<http://www.northjersey.com/news/179429801_Teaneck_woman_among_the_last_remai

ning_pioneers_of_North_Jersey_s_civil_rights_movement.html>.

This website was helpful to us since we used a picture on this page in our website. It is a

picture of African American marching the streets with banners that have messages of

protest against the Jim Crow Laws and their conditions at the time. We could feel the

desperateness of the people wanting to be treated equally.

Videos

Mighty Times: The Legacy of Rosa Parks. Dir. Bobby Houston. Prod. Robert Hudson, Bill

Couturie, and Dulaine Ellis. Perf. Vince Mcgowen. Vimeo. Vimeo, 2011. Web. 11 Jan.

2014. <http://vimeo.com/14623157>.

This video is important to us because from this, we understood the important legacy that

Rosa Parks left behind. African Americans will not always be looked down upon, but

time will come when they are given the same rights as white men to sit wherever they

want on the bus and not have to give up their seat because of their race. For that to

happen, people must make the white citizens, and the government understand that

segregation is wrong. On the Legacy page in our website, we used this information and

talked about the message Rosa Parks left.

"Rosa Parks Biography." Bio.com. A&E Networks Television, n.d. Web. 21 Oct. 2013.

<http://www.biography.com/people/rosa-parks-9433715>.

On this website, there were many different video clips that featured Rosa Parks and the

Montgomery Bus Boycott. From this we were able to understand visually the

environment the African Americans were put in, and what Rosa Parks did that made the

history a change.

Songs

King Jr., Martin L., and Ralph Abernathy. We Are Soldiers in the Army. SNCC Freedom Singers.

Traditional, 1990. American Experience. 23 Aug. 2006. Web. 17 Dec. 2013.

<http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/eyesontheprize/story/02_bus.html#top>.

This song talks about how the African Americans have to stay tough even though they

are being discriminated in society. They must be like soldiers in the army. Brave and

courageous. They must fight until their deaths to make the most out of their lives and

know that they did a good thing for the nation. We used this as background music on our

website when people first enter the page.

Interview

Braden, Donna. "OnInnovation: Visionaries Thinking out Loud. A Video Oral History Project

Advancing a Culture of Innovation Powered by The Henry Ford." Interview by Barry

Hurd. OnInnovation : Rosa Parks. The Henry Ford, 7 Feb. 2011. Web. 5 Dec. 2013.

<http://www.oninnovation.com/media/93407/oninnovation_transcript_parks.pdf>.

This interview is an important source for us because it provided us with information

about the impact the Montgomery Bus Boycott left on the people, and what it led them to

do. It also explains the choice Rosa Parks made on the bus the day she decided to stand

up for herself. Donna Barden explains Rosa Parks, how she was a member of the

NAACP, and why she decided to stay seated on the bus. We included this information

most on the Fight For Freedom page and the Start of the Boycott and the revolt of Parks.

Richardson, Riché. "Transatlantica." Interview by Anne Cremieux and Géraldine Chouard.Rosa

Parks @ 100. TransAtlantica, 4 Feb. 2013. Web. 5 Dec. 2013.

<http://transatlantica.revues.org/6067>.

This website provided us with an interview about a quilt that honored Rosa Parks that

was created by Riché Richardson. Richardson explained the purpose of the artwork and

what it represents. In this interview, it also included information about the arrest of Rosa

Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which we used on “Rosa Parks’ Revolt” page.

From this interview, we learned that Rosa Parks was prepared for the resistance all along,

however, not knowing that it will create a movement that will become a mark in history.

Stewart, Grace, and Viara Smith. Montgomery Bus Boycott. Telephone interview. 20 Dec. 2013.

This interview was very effective because we were able to talk with professional

researchers on the Montgomery Bus Boycott and ask them about not only about the

boycott but about the history day theme. We gained information about the responsibilities

of the individuals and of the government. Also they told us about the reason to fight for

freedom.
