The event that is credited with the beginning of the American Civil Rights Movement began with a woman named Rosa Parks C. ON A BUS.
Rosa Louise McCauley Parks, an African-American woman, rode a Montgomery Bus Line bus on 1st December 1955. During her time, black and white people have assigned places including inside the bus.
She sat in the bus section where black people were assigned to seat. However, when a white man entered as a passenger and the white seats have already been filled up, Rosa was told by the bus driver to give up her seat for the white man. She did not obey the bus driver's order. She was arrested for her disobedience.
Her act of defiance and the resulting Montgomery Bus Boycott became an important symbol for Civil Rights Movement.
