In the Movie Barbershop, a Character Complains That Rosa Parks

question 33

Essay

In the movie Barbershop, a character complains that Rosa Parks gets too much credit for the Montgomery bus boycott, while other activists and victims of "Jim Crow" laws have been forgotten. For instance, in the same year that Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat, Claudette Colvin was arrested for the same crime, found guilty, and placed on probation. However, shortly after her arrest, she became pregnant by a much older man. Mary Louise Smith was also arrested for the same crime, in the same year, but she was a teenager and her father was an impoverished alcoholic. Neither of these women received the help that Rosa Parks did. What theoretical approach to race presented in Chapter 8 does the best job of explaining the lives of these three African American women? Justify your answer.
