Boycotts were a huge piece in the puzzle of the Civil Rights Movement; the African Americans used multiple strategies to earn their rights. Buses were used commonly in 1940-1960, and people would use the buses everyday to travel to work. Both white and black people rode the bus in the morning and after work, but that wouldn’t be possible without a hint of segregation.

As an act of defiance to this unjust situation, African Americans decided to boycott the bus companies by walking to work and avoiding riding the buses in any way possible.

I may not have been alive to witness these events as they transpired, but I can say that I grew up on these artists. NWA, Eazy-E, and Ice Cube shaped my current musical tastes, my mother would play their albums in the car nonstop. My youth was littered with these guy’s music, in fact, the first time I ever cursed in front of my mother was to one of their songs, and it’s because of the impact their infamous music had on me growing up, that this film affected me so deeply. Making a cohesive and narratively exceptional musical biopic is remarkably difficult, we saw that last year with ‘Jersey Boys’, a long-winded film with too little to say and too much runtime. This film, though vastly entertaining, is very similar to ‘Jersey Boys’ in that ailment.

The final question that Clarisse asks Montag is “Are you happy?”(Bradbury 7) This question is important because it sets the story in motion.

A hero’s determination will get into people 's hearts. Rosa Parks determination showed others that civil rights matter and that African Americans need to take a stand and show that they matter in life. Johnnie Carr, one of Rosa Parks best friends, along with a civil right activist, would only say extraordinary things about Rosa.
