69 2 Communication to end segregation. The American Civil Rights Movement, led by Martin Luther King, organised peaceful protests the following years. In addition to boycotts, they held sit-ins, which involved black people going into restaurants and sitting in the white sections and refusing to move. Although Rosa Parks was released from prison the day after she was arrested, she was fired from her job and received death threats. In the end, despite punishment and hardship, Alabama’s black population showed the world that segregation was not to be tolerated. They spoke their minds and held strong in their 381-day boycott of the bus service. And to this day, Rosa Parks’ protest is one of the most important symbols of the American Civil Rights Movement.
