Rosa Parks is very famous for not moving out of her seat on a bus when told to do so by a white person who was on the bus. All she did for this movement was to just refuse to move. She was not violent which is why she reminds me of Martin Luther King Jr. He was very against being violent. He even held conferences where he would teach the people who participated in his marches how to ignore people and how to protest in a non-violent way. I think reacting to everyone in a non-violent way is very brave. With all of the things that the white people said I can only imagine how hard it would have been for the protesters to just keep quiet and march. Non-violent movements were very important because they show us today that things can be achieved without using violence.
