Introduction
Did you know that discrimination started long long ago? Over the past years people have been fighting against this inequality, therefore discrimination has decreased its percentage during the last years. One of the worst discriminations happen in United States of America. The white Americans discriminate against african American people because of their skin tone. This behavior is cruel and unacceptable!
Racial Discrimination
About 65 years ago the white Americans discriminated black americans because of their skin color. The whites thought they were the more important people, they thought the black people were just useful for households or labour. They also believed they did not belong in the country. Some examples of this discrimination are: African Americans were not allowed to go to the same school, they were not allowed to go to the same restaurant and they had to sit at the back of the bus and if a white person wanted to sit on the bus the black people had to give up their seat. I think that this is cruel because if there was no more seats on the bus they had to stand on the bus. This unfair and unjust because people should not be treated badly.
The Boycott
A boycott was held in for the buses after Rosa Parks went to jail for not giving up her seat to a white person. The blacks were devastated after that the incident because she lost her seat for standing up for her right, so they started a boycott that meant that they didn’t ride buses until the rule of discrimination changed. The buses lost a lot of money, so they stopped discrimination, but it still continued on other things. The boycott started on Monday December 5th 1955. The boycott ended December 20th 1956. It lasted 13 months, 381 days after it started.
Conclusion
In conclusion discrimination should never began and should end as in many other states discrimination continues. This is a petition that will be shared around the world. Please give us a signature as our goal is to get more than 50 signatures.

I have been reading every single story you leave in the comments and it feels like we are finally uncovering how many people are tired of this history repeating itself. I am spending my nights researching new ways to bring these conversations into our local classrooms so we can stop this cycle from hurting another generation.

Seeing this movement grow brings back the stories I heard about my own family and the exhausting struggle they faced. This momentum proves that people are finally ready to confront these deep wounds together. Knowing that so many of you care about this history gives me hope that we can truly move toward a more just future.
