Fox News
Rosa Parks, 42, ignited the Civil Rights Movement and the end of segregation in Alabama when she refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus on this day in history, Dec. 1, 1955.
Black bus riders were required to sit in the back of the bus, and to also give up those seats to White riders if the front seats were filled, under local Montgomery ordinance. "The only tired I was, was tired of giving in." — Rosa Parks "Local civil rights leaders had been planning a challenge to Montgomery’s racist bus laws for several months." "Mrs. Parks’ courage catapulted her into world history." Kerry J. Byrne is a lifestyle reporter with Fox News Digital.
Rosa Parks' quiet yet heroic act of defiance, in the spirit upon which the nation was founded, landed her in jail — she was soon released on $100 bond — but ignited the civil rights movement.
