Lillie Mae Bradford was arrested for:
3. For sitting in the "wrong" part of the bus.
In 1951, afro-american citizens were segregated in many public places, one of them the buses. They were supposed to sit in the back of the bus, leaving the front available for white people. Bradford was arrested for breaking this rule while asking the driver to charge her the right price for the trip, which was too high. She was asked twice to go to the back of the bus without her request so, as a protest, she sat in front. Bradford was charged of disorderly conduct. Though a neighbor bailed her, the criminal record followed her for life as an obstacle to find a job.

Adam Smith (1723-1790) is best known for his economic theories, published in <em>An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations </em>(1776). However, he also is well respected in the philosophical field of ethics, with his notable work in that area being <em>The Theory of Moral Sentiments </em>(1759).
Samuel Pepys (1633-1703) was an administrator for the English navy and a member of Parliament. He is most famous, though, for a lengthy diary he kept for ten years of his life which provided thought and comments on events occurring at his time in history.
Oliver Cromwell (1599-1658) was the leader of Parliament's movement against King Charles I, and the military leader against the king's forces in the English Civil War.
