Today I took a trip to the Henry Ford Museum, in Dearborn, Michigan. There are so many awesome exhibits there, you could spend a whole week there and still not see all that there is to see. The following photos are from one of those exhibits. I chose this exhibit as today's feature since February is Black History Month.
This is the infamous bus that Rosa Parks rode on, in Montgomery Alabama, on December 1, 1955, when she refused to give up her seat to a white man. Her actions are what helped spark the civil rights movement.
This is the view of the back of the bus. This is the area where the "colored" people, as they were referred to at the time, were required to sit.
The second seat from the left, is the seat that Rosa was sitting in when the bus driver told her to move to that back section of the bus.
This here is from the back of the bus, where the "coloreds" sat.
And finally, a picture of the back view of the bus.
