Because she inspired others to fight for their civil rights.

Rosa Parks' refusal to give up her bus seat in Montgomery (1955) sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped mobilize a mass movement led by figures like Martin Luther King Jr. She became a powerful symbol and catalyst for the broader civil rights movement, though she was not the very first person to fight for civil rights and it was not started by her children.
