Heya...
Here is your answer ---

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibited discrimination on the basis of race, religion, or national origin. It also stated that all schools would be open to African-American children and that they would no longer have to attend separate schools specially set up for them.

Rosa Parks was an African-American woman who had a huge importance in the implementation of this act.

In the United State of America, the African-Americans whose ancestors were slaves who were brought over from Africa, had faced a lot of discrimination and unequal treatment.
One of the discriminatory practices they faced in their daily life was that they had to offer their seat in the bus whenever any white person wished to sit. One os the cases of such discrimination and resultant agitation is as follows:
After a hard day at work, Rosa Parks was travelling by bus. She refused to offer her seat to a white man. Her refusal to offer her seat in the bus to a white man on 1 December 1955 started a huge agitation against the unequal treatment meted out to the African-Americans.

This was the incident that led to her participation in the Act.

HOOE IT HELPS...!!

Here is your answer :-

Rosa park was an African - American women who was tired from a long day work and refused to give her seat on the bus on 1st December 1955.

Her refusal that day started a huge agitation against the unequal ways in which African Americans were treated .

This came to be known as the "CIVIL RIGHT MOVEMENT " . The civil right act of 1964 prohabited discrimination on the basis. Of race, religions or national origin .

It also started that all the schools would be open for African Americans childrens and they would no longer have to set up speacial schools for them .

However , despite this , a majority of African Americans continue to be poorest in the country!
