An Ordinary Woman with an Extraordinary Impact

Rosa Parks' story is one of an ordinary person who made an extraordinary difference. She was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, in 1913, to parents who had faced the harsh realities of racial injustice firsthand. As a young woman, Rosa worked as a seamstress and became actively involved in the civil rights movement.

Her unwavering belief in equality and her willingness to stand up for what was right led to her historic moment on that Montgomery bus. When she refused to give up her seat to a white man, she was arrested and charged with violating city segregation laws.

The Power of Protest

Rosa Parks' arrest sparked outrage and galvanized the African American community in Montgomery. Led by the young Martin Luther King Jr., they organized a bus boycott that lasted for over a year, effectively crippling public transportation in the city.

The boycott gained national attention and put pressure on the federal government to intervene. In 1956, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation on public transportation was unconstitutional, a landmark victory for the civil rights movement.
