In Texas, many African and Mexican Americans organized “pay your poll tax” drives and helped those who had no money to pay the poll tax. Then, in January 23, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the 24th Amendment that said that it was prohibited to put a poll tax on elections

Rosa did not get up and move because she was protecting her rights and herself. Rosa Parks was sitting in the colored section. All Rosa Parks was doing was standing up for her people, her, and her rights.
5) A quote from Rosa Parks herself: "People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in. I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move. Our mistreatment was just not right, and I was tired of it."
