What are the "buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and the song called 'We Shall Overcome'"?

 
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that "We Shall Overcome." Yes we can.
From wikipedia,
1) the buses in Montgomery
The No. 2857 bus on which Rosa Parks was riding before she was arrested (a GM "old-look" transit bus, serial number 1132), is now a museum exhibit at the Henry Ford Museum.
 
2) the hoses in Birmingham
High school students are hit by a high-pressure water jet from a firehose during a protest in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963. Images like this one, printed in Life Magazine, inspired international support for the demonstrators.[1] Image credit: Charles Moore, Black Star
