In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white person. At that time, white people and black people were kept apart in some American states this was known as segregation. Her actions lead to a bus boycott and eventual changing of the law so that people were no longer segregated. Now every year on 4th February we think about Rosa Parks and how she changed American history forever. 
 
Team AC wanted to find out more about Rosa Parks. Through watching videos and reading information they discovered why she became known. They discussed what they had found out, then thought of questions they would like to ask Rosa. The children acted out the incident on the bus, freeze framing at different points to get reactions from the characters. Finally using ‘hot seating’, they asked Rosa questions about what she might have said and thought at that time.
