I don't think any segregation law angered black people in Montgomery more than bus segregation. And that had been so since the laws about segregation on public transportation had been passed. That was back in 1900, and black people had boycotted Montgomery streetcars until the City Council changed its ordinance so that nobody would be forced to give up a seat unless there was another seat to move to. But over the years practices had changed, although the law had not. - My Story, Rosa Parks What does this type of text structure highlight? What is the cause? What is the effect?

Fitzpatrick · Answer 2

In 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks, an African American woman,

refused to give up her seat for a white passenger. That simple act landed her

in jail and it also set in motion the Montgomery bus boycott. It lasted for

more than a year. The city of Montgomery eventually lifted the law that

required segregation on the public bus. The movement began the civil-rights

movement which led to end of segregation in the United States.

The cause - Rosa Parks did not give up her seat.

The effect - Rosa Parks went to jail.
