Very good students. 5 points to AnimagusPadfoot for answering our last question and 5 points to Jessica, you are right the trial lasted only about 32 minutes. However it sparked a very large movement in the civil rights of black people in this era. Unfortunately the trial only lasted such a short period because back then there was a huge division in the races. She wsa unfairly judged and because of her a revolution was started.
While Rosa's trial lasted only 32 minutes the revolution lasted 381 days during which she was put on "trial" for he "Disrespect to a white". In November of 1956 the Supreme court ruled that segregation on transportation was unconstitutional. Rosa won her right to sit where ever she pleased. Her stand was the beginning of the end of racial segregation.
