=== The back of the bus ===
Put in the correct words.

<div class="lueckentext-quiz" lang="en">
Buses in Montgomery, Alabama were, like all public institutions, ''segregated''. Most customers were black since the more affluent ''whites'' already had cars. The buses weren't evenly divided in half— the front for whites and the rear for ''Blacks''. The start of the “colored” section was determined by the number of whites on board. The more whites that boarded, the further ''back'' the white section extended. The more ''crowded'' the bus became with white patrons, the further the bus driver extended the white section in accommodation, regardless of the ''injustice'' to African Americams.

Furthermore black people had to pay the bus driver up ''front'', then leave the bus and get in from the back of the bus.

=== Rosa Parks ===
Put in the correct form of the words. Sometimes you may have to add a word.

<div class="lueckentext-quiz" lang="en">

Rosa Parks was a seamstress by profession; but she also ''worked (work)'' as the secretary for the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP. Twelve years before her history-making arrest, Parks ''was stopped (stop)'' from boarding a city bus by driver James F. Blake, who ordered her to board at the back door and then ''drove (drive)'' off without her. Parks vowed never again to ride a bus driven by Blake.

As a member of the NAACP, Parks was an investigator assigned to cases of sexual assault. So she ''wasn't tired (not, to tire)'' of working in a factory but fed up with the situtaion when she ''refused (refuse)'' to stand up.
