The MIA Mass Meeting at the Holt Street Baptist Church brought together the African American community in a fight for what everyone believes in: Freedom. Rosa Parks helped them realize that they too can stand up to the whites and believe that they too have rights. They talk about getting trampled over and how they will and are getting tired of it. That night they prepared themselves what will lay ahead, and they will stick together, which they did do. God is a big part in this speech, by motivating all of them to believe.
Rosa Parks stood up earlier that day for her rights to sit in the front of the bus. She made African Americans believe that they should too stand up for what they believe in. This example is shown in the sixth paragraph, “Mrs. Parks is a fine Christian person, unassuming, and yet there is integrity and character there. And just because she refused to get up, she was arrested.” They said that no one can doubt her sense of great character, and that she has strong Christian Faith.
They all came together as a community to prepare and pray that good will come ahead and that they were going to stick together no matter what happens.
