Montgomery Bus Boycott and Scottsboro trials

a) 1. It stared with a African woman not willing to give up her sit to a White. The woman was arrested. In the end, the civil right movement won and it was significant because it was the first victory of the US Civil Right Movement.

2. The first trail caused all but Roy Wright to be sentenced to death, the second trail caused 4 out of 9 to drop out of charge. All but 2 served prison. The rested were killed. It is significant as it is widely considered to be a miscarriage of justice that led to the end of all-white juries in the south.

b) The novel also shows trails and that the black was in the end dead.

c) All of them are about racism and racial discrimination.
