Rosa Parks defies segregation on Montgomery bus
On a fateful December evening, Rosa Parks, a 42-year-old African American seamstress, boards a Montgomery City bus after a long day of work. When the driver orders her to vacate her seat to make room for a white passenger, Parks refuses, sparking a chain reaction that would shake the foundations of racial segregation in America. Her courageous defiance leads to her arrest, but ultimately inspires the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a 381-day protest led by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that would end with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling segregation on public buses unconstitutional. Parks' bold act becomes a beacon of resistance, galvanizing the Civil Rights Movement and cementing her place as an American icon.
