Here are a few words or expressions that you should be able to understand and use when we study what happened to Mrs.Parks and the impact it had on the condition of life of Black People in the US.

A turning point           The Deep South         The Jim Crow laws                  discrimination  

the Black section           a boycott of the buses            the front of the bus                   to abide by the law        42           

to be arrested     the back of the bus         a law-abiding citizen          Mrs. Parks       segregation
