A CULTURE OF SILENCE: SEXUAL VIOLENCE IN THE LIVES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMENConstance Price
The document discusses the historical and ongoing sexual abuse and silencing of Black women in America. It details how slavery established patterns of rape and sexual assault of enslaved Black women.

This law was enforced by officers in Rosa Parks time period that is why she got arrested.
23. Rosa Parks – Courage to face Racial Discrimination cont. Rosa Parks might have been discriminated by gender too; but mainly she was discriminated by Race because she was Black. She worked at a Montgomery Fair department store. This was a job targeted for women and sadly she lost her job, due to her courage's act. Black peoples at the time including Rosa Parks did not find it suitable to ride the bus because it was a embarrassing experienced. They were segregated by the segregation laws and black had to sit in the back rather than in the front of the bus.
24. Rosa Parks – Courage to face Racial Discrimination cont. A result of this racial discrimination she stated, “she was physically tired, but that she was tired of giving in.” (Rosa Parks Biography, pg.2). – In a result of not giving up her seat she showed courage. She was a women; which others seen as a women with courage because the event that took place gave a push to the civil rights movement. She was arrested for not giving up her seat on the bus. She was charged and had to pay a fine of a total of “$14; $10 for the fees and $4 for the court fees.” (Rosa Parks Biography, pg.2). As we all know back then the value of the dollar was worth more so during that time it was a high fine that she had to pay.
25. Rosa Parks – Courage to face Racial Discrimination cont. It is safe to say that Rosa Parks was felt humiliated by the event that took place. African Americans are treated wrongfully in this time period; one of those person was Rosa Parks.

During Rosa Parks time frame it is scary to be a African woman who is arrested by a cop.
26. Rosa Parks – Courage to face Racial Discrimination cont. During Rosa Parks time period cops didn’t have a good reputation. In the jail cell you don’t know if they had a sanitary environment; you don’t know she might of gotten sick being in jail. We can speculate that they might of done something that could cause her harm, or she might of even faced going to prison, instead of serving time in jail. So in essence you didn’t know what the cops would have done to African American women in that time period.
