Rosa Parks

Back to event

December 1st, 1995 was when it all began. A white man boarded the bus when he quickly noticed that there was a lack of room. The law was that black passengers were required to give up their seats for white passengers. He went to the back of the bus where the black passengers were forced to sit. He demanded a woman to move and provide him the seat. This woman happened to be Rosa Parks. Rosa Parks did not take things lightly, so she refused. She didn't condone any violence, just simply said no. She unfortunately got arrested. She was charged with "disobedience against racial segregation."
