1781: Gen. Nathanael Green def. British, Source: McIlvaine
1955: Rosa Parks arrested, for refusing to move to back of the bus.
"Our mistreatment was just not right, and I was tired of it," Parks
wrote in her book, "Quiet Strength", (Zondervan Publishing House,
Detroit 1994). "I kept thinking about my mother and my grandparents,
and how strong they were. I knew there was a possibility of being
mistreated, but an opportunity was being given to me to do what I had
asked of others." Parks' story is history her arrest and trial led to
a 381-day Montgomery Alabama bus boycott, and, finally, a United
States Supreme Court ruling in November 1956 that segregation on
transportation is contra to the American constitution.
