PLEASE HELP!! I DON’T NEED YA TO WRITE ME A WHOLE ESSAY BUT I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME IDEAS TO WRITE:)

Claudette Colvin's story is similar to the story of Rosa Parks: refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus and subsequent arrest, sparking
widespread protest. Read about Parka's experience, then write an essay of 300 words comparing the two events. Speculate on why Colvin's
action, nine months earlier than Parks, is less celebrated. Think about how Colvin's action influenced later events.

Answer:

Comparing the events:

They both refused to give up their seats, but instead of dragging Rosa Parks off the bus, as they did to Claudette, Rosa simply got up...

Claudette events or not as celebrated as Rosa's because she was pregnant and that wasn't really a good look for the movement. Also Rosa's events were a big deal because they were staged. It also helped that Rosa was light-skin, unlike Claudette who was dark-skinned

Also Rosa actions was "piggybacked " off of Claudette's

Step-by-step explanation:

...sorry if im repeating myself but i hope this helps..if u want me to mentions more things or anything just tell me
