je crois savoir que c'est un "classique" des cours d'anglais : est-ce toujours le cas ?
Non, on étudie Martin Luther King maintenant.

Non seulement les Noirs devaient a priori se placer au fond, mais il n'était pas question qu'ils traversent le bus par l'avant. Donc la règle était qu'ils montaient payer au chauffeur puis redescendaient, longeaient le bus et entraient pas la porte de derrière (encore une chance qu'il y en ait une !).
En passant, c'est exactement pareil en Iran, les femmes paient à l'avant, redescendent et montent par l'arrière.L’intérêt ne pense pas, il calcule. Les motifs sont ses chiffres. K. Marx, « Débats sur la loi relative au vol de bois » 1842.

Rosa Parks speaks in her book of her childhood years, when her mother moved with Rosa and her younger brother to live with her grandparents in rural Pine Level, Alabama. Her grandparents had very different views.
At age 10, when a white boy threatened to punch her as they met along the road, she picked up a brick and dared him to hit her. He backed off and left her alone. Her grandmother scolded her for this, warning her “not to talk to white folks or act that way.” And “not to retaliate if they did something to you.”
But her grandfather, by his actions, strengthened her resolve. As the KKK was “riding through the black community, burning churches and beating up and killing people,” her grandfather kept his double-barreled shotgun close by at all times. He had the children “go to bed with their clothes on to be ready to run if the Klan broke into their house.” She remembers her grandfather saying, “I don’t know how long I would last if they came breaking in here, but I’m getting the first one who comes through the door.”
There were many others like her grandfather throughout the South who would not bow down in fear.
