Rose Lewis Parks, who was forty-two years old at the time before December 1, 1955, was not in the spotlight, as her activist activity in the civil rights movement or in other associations and organizations that represented a rejection of the racist Jim Crow laws did not symbolically crystallize until after her famous incident in Montgomery. Alabama when she refused to give up her seat in the colored section of the bus to a white passenger after the white section ran out of seats.
Today, December 1, 2020, marks 65 years since that incident, which represented an inspiration for anti-apartheid resistance movements around the world, and the arrest of (Parks) ignited the spark among all the colored resistance movements that considered it a symbol of the usual daily struggle practiced by masses of black people on the way to their homes and in schools. Their children and when purchasing weekly household needs.
The word no that Parks said was evidence that the revolution does not need huge platforms and giant speakers. It only needs to start with yourself, without evasion or turning around, to say it spontaneously, to say no.
Blacks began their movement against the expansion of the application of laws called (Jim Crow), which aimed in their entirety to abolish the privileges of “freedmen” during the Reconstruction period in the period after the American Civil War. Malcolm On which resistance strategies must be based, despite their different currents.
The right to vote was the foundation for the crystallization of blacks in particular and colored people in general as a pressure group that contributed to the downfall of the madmen in subsequent decades and pursued racists with blacklists.
The organizational development witnessed by the anti-apartheid resistance movements was a natural development that resulted in violent confrontations that began with the spread of incidents of Lynchian punishment and the emergence of extremist fraternal organizations and groups, the first of which was the Ku Klux Klan and the most recent of which were the Knights of the Carolinas and the Neo-Nazis.
By reviewing the incidents of violence practiced by the forces of racial supremacy on the one hand and the extreme right on the other hand, it is not possible to separate the two schools completely, as it is difficult to distinguish what is related to the national tendency of right-wing groups from what is racist. The native citizen in the literature of those groups has physical and ideological characteristics that begin with skin color and end with His doctrine, and even the finest details of his faith.
The recent (George Floyd) incident last May is considered an extension of the development of local confrontations that were encouraged by Trump’s leadership supporting the supremacy of the white American citizen who owns land and has the right to work, earn money, and hold public jobs.
The division of public and personal freedoms is considered impossible in the details of the issues of racism in America. Religious freedom, which is linked to the phenomenon of (Islamophobia), has recently been linked to incidents of racist practices against black Americans, who have suffered from racial and ideological persecution, and perhaps in another part of the world, the triangle of pain is completed by their being refugees, terrified by war. And its scourges, they became black refugees or black Muslims.
Raising the memory of Parks is a re-inspiration for the spirit of resistance that a world in which rights are only upheld takes place, a resistance against the rust of habit, and a glorification of those faint voices that will inevitably be heard.
