122.1 Rosa Parks and The Freedom Movement (from Slavery to Civil Rights)

<p>In honor of Juneteenth, we will be talking about &quot;The Mother of the Freedom Movement&quot; - Rosa Parks. Rosa made history when she politely refused to give her seat to a white passenger on a public bus in Alabama when institutionalized racial segregation existed in the South (Jim Crow Laws). <br/><br/>Her story is one of courage; she&apos;ll make you want to stand up for what&apos;s right. <br/><br/><b>Note: </b>Juneteenth is on June 19th, and it&apos;s been a federal holiday in the United States since 2021. However, it&apos;s been a day of celebration for African Americans since 1865, when Texas, the last state with institutionalized slavery, abolished it.  It&apos;s a day to celebrate freedom and liberty, as well as to remember those who fought for it, like Rosa Parks.<br/><br/><b>Premium Content</b><br/><br/>This episode is part of <a href='https://american-english-podcast.teachable.com/p/transcripts-episode-101-150/'>Season 3.</a> By purchasing Season 3 transcripts, you&apos;ll be able to access the full episodes, the full PDF transcripts for episodes 101 - 150, an Mp3 download  and the premium podcast player to work on your pronunciation. <br/><br/>Follow along with the Season 3 audio (episodes 101-150) as episodes are released. <a href='https://american-english-podcast.teachable.com/p/transcripts-episode-101-150/'>Season 3.</a>.<br/><br/><b>Other Links!</b></p><ul><li><a href='https://courses.americanenglishpodcast.com/p/season-1-2-and-3-bundle'>Get ALL PREMIUM CONTENT FOR SEASONS 1-3  (including transcripts + mp3s)</a></li><li><a href='https://american-english-podcast.teachable.com/p/transcripts-episode-001-100/'>Get ONLY the Transcripts for Episodes 001 - 100</a>. </li><li><a href='https://american-english-podcast.teachable.com/p/101-american-english-slang-words'>Get the Free E-Book: 101 American English Slang Words</a> </li></ul><p><br/><br/></p><strong><a href='https://everything-everywhere.com/everything-everywhere-daily-podcast/' target='_blank'>Everything Everywhere Daily</a></strong><br>A P
