Parks recalled going to elementary school in Pine Level, where school buses took white students their new school and black students had to go to them:
"I want to see the bus pass every day ... But for me it was a way of life, we had no choice but to accept what was the custom, the bus was among the first ways I realized was there is a black world., and a white world ".  [8]
Although Parks' autobiography recounts early memories of the kindness of white strangers, she could not ignore the   racism   of their society.When the   Ku Klux Klan   down marched the street in front of her house, reminds parks her grandfather guarding the front door with a shotgun. [9]   The Montgomery Industrial School, founded and staffed by white northerners for black children, was twice of burnt  arsonist  . Its faculty was ostracized by the white community.

In December 1943, Parks became active in the   Civil Rights Movement  , joined the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP, and was elected secretary. She later said: "I was the only woman there, and they needed a secretary, and I was too shy to say no."  [10]   She continued as secretary until 1957.
In 1944, in her role as secretary, she examines the gang-rape of   Recy Taylor  , a black woman from   Abbeville, Alabama  . Parks and other civil rights activists organized the "Committee for Equal Justice for Mrs. Recy Taylor" Start what the   Chicago Defender   as "seen the strongest campaign for equal justice in a decade".  [11]
Although never a member of the   Communist Party,   she and her husband have in the meetings and the Scottsboro case was a case which was brought to prominence by the Communist Party.  [12]
In the 1940s, Parks and her husband were members of the Voters League. Soon after 1944, she held a brief job at  Maxwell Air Force Base  , which did not allow the property of the Federal segregation. She rode on his integrated trolley. In an interview with her ​​biographer, Parks noted, "You could say Maxwell opened my eyes to it." Parks worked as a housekeeper and seamstress for Clifford and Virginia Durr  , a white couple.Politically   liberal  , the Durrs were her friends. They encouraged and eventually helped sponsor parks in the summer of 1955 to attend the  Highlander Folk School  , a training center for activism in the rights of workers and racial equality in   Monteagle, Tennessee  .

Montgomery buses: law and prevailing customs

In 1900, Montgomery had (could essentially choose only whites) is a city ordinance to separate bus passengers by race passed. Conductors were authorized to assign seats to accomplish this goal. By law, no passenger would be required to move or give up their seat and stand if the bus was crowded and no other seats were available. Over time and by custom, however, Montgomery bus drivers took to move the practice of requiring black riders when it releases no white-only spaces.
The first four rows of seats on each Montgomery bus were reserved for whites. Buses had "colored" sections for black people generally in the rear of the bus, even though blacks together more than 75% of passenger numbers. The sections are not fixed but are determined by the position of a movable mark. Black people could sit in the middle rows, until the white section filled if more whites seats needed were blacks who move to seats in the rear, stand, or, if there is no room, leave the bus. Black people could not sit on the aisle in the same row as white people. The driver was "colored" section sign, or by shifting the removed completely. If white people were already sitting in the front, black people on board at the front had to pay the fare, and then get out again. By the back door
For years, the black community had complained that the situation was unjust. Park said: "My resistance to the bus abused not begin with that particular arrest ... I did a lot of walking in Montgomery."  [6]
One day in 1943, Parks boarded the bus and paid the fare. Then she moved to her place, but driver   James F. Blake   told her to follow city rules and enter the bus again from the back door. Parks off the bus, but before she could back to the rear door board, Blake came out, so they go in the rain at home.  [15]

Her refusal to move

A plaque with the title "The Bus Stop" on Dexter Ave. Montgomery and St. the place Rosa Parks boarded the bus-tribute to them and the success of the Montgomery bus boycott.
After working all day, Parks boarded the Cleveland Avenue bus at 18.00 clock, Thursday, 1December 1955 in the city of Montgomery. She paid her fare and sat in an empty seat in the first row of back seats for blacks in the "colored" section reserved. Near the middle of the bus, their number was directly behind the ten seats reserved for white passengers. Initially, she had not noticed that the bus driver the same man, James F. Blake, who had left in the rain in 1943 was. As the bus traveled along the original route, filled all white only seats on the bus. The bus reached the third stop in front of the Empire Theater, and several white passengers on board.

The No. 2857 bus on which Parks before her arrest (rode a   GM "old look" transit bus , serial number 1132), is now a museum exhibit in   Henry Ford Museum  .
Blake noted that the front side of the bus was filled with white passengers is two or three. He moved the "colored" section sign behind Parks and demanded that four black people give up their seats in the middle section so that the white passengers could sit. Years later, in remembrance of the events of the day, the parks, "When the white driver again a step towards us, when he waved his hand and ordered us and out of our seats, I felt a determination cover my body like a quilt on a winter night ".  [16]
Signed by Parks' Blake said, "Y'all better make it light on yourself and let me these seats."  [17]   Three of them are respected. Park said, "The driver wanted us to stand up, the four of us we did not move at first, but he says." Let me these seats. "And the other three people moved, but I did not."  [18]   The black man sitting next to her gave up his seat back.  [19]
Parks moved, but on the window sill,. She did not get up to move to the colored section reclassification  [19]   Blake said, "Why do not you get up?" Parks responded, "I do not think I should get up." Blake called the police to arrest Parks. Calling the incident for   Eyes on the Prize  , a 1987 public television series on the Civil Rights Movement, said Parks, "When he saw me, he still sits, if I was going to ask, and I said," No I'm not. ' And he said, "Well, if you do not get up, I'm going to have to call the police and have you arrested." I said, "You can do that. '"  [20]

In a 1956 radio interview with   Sydney Rogers   in   West Oakland   several months after her arrest, Parks said she had decided, "I would have to know for once and for all what rights I had as a man and citizen".  [21]
In her autobiography   My Story   , she said:
People always say that I did not give up my seat because I was tired, but that's not true. I was not physically tired or more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as old.I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.  [22]
When Parks refused to give up her seat refused, a policeman arrested. As the officer took her away, she recalled that she asked, "Why do you push us around?" She remembered him saying: "I do not know, but the law is the law, and you're under arrest."  [23]   She later said: "I only knew that because I was arrested for being the very last time that I ever ride in humiliation of this kind ... "  [18]
Parks was charged with a violation of Chapter 6, Section 11 segregation law of the Montgomery City code, calculated  [24]   although technically they did not have a white-only taken place, they had been in a colored section.  [25]   Edgar Nixon  , President of the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP and leader of the   Pullman Porters Union  , and her friend   Clifford Durr   parks saved from jail the next night.  [26]

Montgomery Bus Boycott

Nixon consulted with   Jo Ann Robinson  , an   Alabama State College   professor and member of theWomen's Political Council   (WPC), the Parks' case. Robinson believed it important to take the opportunity and stayed up all night   mimeographing   over 35,000 leaflets announcing a bus boycott.The Women's Political Council was the first group to officially endorse the boycott.
On Sunday, the 4th Were announced in December 1955 plans for the Montgomery Bus Boycott to the black churches in the region, and a front-page article in   The Montgomery Advertiser   helped spread the word. At a rally church that night, the participants agreed to continue the boycott until she with the level of courtesy they expected, were hired to black drivers were treated, and until seating in the middle of the bus was on a first-come base handled.
The next day, Parks was tried on charges of   disorderly conduct   and violating a local regulation. The trial lasted 30 minutes. Once found guilty and fined $ 10, plus $ 4 in court costs, he  [18]  Parks appealed her conviction and formally challenged the legality of racial segregation. In a 1992 interview with  National Public Radio  's Lynn Neary, Parks recalled:
I did not want to be mistreated, I did not want to be deprived of a seat that I had paid. It was just time ... there was opportunity for me to take a stand to express the way I felt about the treatment in this way. I had not planned to get arrested. I had plenty to do without going to jail.But if I had to fight this decision, I did not hesitate to do this because I felt that we had endured that too long. The more we gave in, the more we will be met with this type of treatment that was more oppressive.  [17]
On the day of Parks' trial - December 5, 1955 - the WPC distributed the 35,000 leaflets to read the leaflet.
"We are ... asking every Negro to stay off the buses Monday in protest against the arrest and trial ... You can afford to stay out of school for a day. If you work, take a taxi or foot. Yet please, children and adults, do not ride the bus at all on Monday. Please stay away from the buses on Monday. "  [27]
It was raining that day, but the black community persevere in their boycott. Some rode in carpools, while others traveled in black-operated cabs that charged the same fare as the bus, 10 cents. Most of the remainder of the 40,000 black commuters walked, some as far as 20 miles (30 km).
Gathered this evening after the success of the one-day boycott, a group of 16 to 18 people at the Mt.Zion   AME Zion   Church to discuss boycott strategies. The group agreed that a new organization was needed to lead the boycott effort if it were continued. Rev.   Ralph David Abernathy   suggested the name "  Montgomery Improvement Association  "(MIA).  [28]   The name was adopted, and the MIA was formed. Its members elected as their president   Martin Luther King, Jr  , a relative newcomer to Montgomery, who was a young and mostly unknown minister of   Dexter Avenue Baptist Church  .  [29]
., This Monday evening gathered 50 Heads of State and Government of the African-American community to action to parks' arrest react to discuss   Edgar Nixon , president of the NAACP, said, "My God, look what segregation is in my hands! "  [30]  Parks was the ideal plaintiff for a test case against city and state segregation laws when she was a responsible, mature woman with an excellent reputation. King said that Mrs. Parks was regarded as "the Montgomery-not one of the best citizens of one of the finest Negro citizens, but one of the best citizens of Montgomery."  [6]   Parks was securely married and employed, possessed a quiet and dignified bearing; and was politically savvy.
Pink trial was being braked on appeal by the Alabama courts on their way to a federal appeal and the process could have taken years.  [31]   would hold together was a boycott of the length of time, have been a great burden. At the end sat the black residents of Montgomery boycott for 381 days, with considerable personal Opfern.Dutzende of public buses stood idle months, severely damaging the bus transit company's finances, until the law of their city, segregation on public buses after the U.S. Supreme Court Judgment repealed   Browder v. Gayle   that it was unconstitutional. Rosa was not included as a plaintiff in the Browder decision because the lawyer   Fred Gray   joined the courts would perceive they tried to evade their pursuit of their charges its way through the Alabama state court system.  [32]
Parks played an important role in raising international awareness of the plight of African-Americans and the Bürgerrechtsbewegung.König wrote in his 1958 book   Stride Toward Freedom   that Parks' arrest was the catalyst, not the cause of the protest: "The cause lay deep in the . term record of similar injustices "  [33]   He wrote: "Actually, no one can understand the action of Mrs. Parks, when he realizes that eventually the cup of endurance runs over, and the human personality cries out:" I can not take it. "  [34]

巴西马里亚纳大坝灾难的法律纠纷在英国打响

Imagem
      一项价值 63 亿美元的诉讼已在英国启动，索赔要求为巴西所谓的马里亚纳大坝灾难的受害者提供赔偿。   2015 年巴西丰道尾矿坝的一部分倒塌时，数百万吨的有毒采矿废料摧毁了附近的社区并破坏了当地环境。 十九人死亡，整个村庄被摧毁，但广泛的影响要大得多。 律师事务所 PGMBM 的执行合伙人汤姆·古德黑德 (Tom Goodhead) 表示：“这是极其毁灭性的。它夺走了 19 条生命，但它完全摧毁了三个村庄，然后沿河 680 多公里已经感受到环境影响。数百万人受此影响，他们的生计终结。”   他补充说：“这是巴西历史上最大的环境灾难。如果你想到像埃克森瓦尔迪兹号或 BP 石油泄漏这样的悲剧，这就是灾难的规模。” 超过 200,000 个受影响的当事人已提出集体索赔，初步法庭听证会将决定是否可以根据英国法律审理更广泛的案件。 必和必拓是大坝运营商的母公司之一。 作为一家英澳公司，索赔人认为他们有权通过英国的法律体系。 但必和必拓否认这一点，并表示这些法律诉讼不属于英国法院，因为它与巴西正在进行的工作和听证会重复。 迄今为止，大坝的两位业主已承诺提供约 34 亿美元用于支持修复和补偿。   村庄正在重建，该地区正在进行大规模的修复和恢复计划。 曼彻斯特的初始诉讼将在最后八天进行，并将确定是否可以在英国举行更广泛的法庭案件。   如果允许，未来的听证会将试图确定谁应对损害和随后的灾难负责，以及是否应该支付赔偿金。 预计将于 2020 年晚些时候做出判决。 字体图片谷歌 字体编辑 https://newseu.cgtn.com/news/2020-07-23/Legal-battle-over-Brazil-s-Mariana-Dam-Disaster-starts-in-UK-SllVKxpnj2/index.html
