Rosa Parks was arrested on December 1, 1955, for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. At the time, the city enforced laws that required African Americans to sit in the back of the bus and yield their seats to white passengers. Parks' act of defiance became a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement, leading to the Montgomery Bus Boycott and inspiring many to fight against racial segregation and discrimination.
