Rosa Parks Mugshot and Fingerprints
On December 1st, 1955 a woman named Rosa Parks was arrested for disobeying the law by refusing to move to the back of the bus. Once the black community of Montgomery found out about this they decided to boycott the bus and to see what would happen. The first day of the boycott was successful so they just decided to continue to do it until the buses were desegregated and black people would have the right to sit anywhere on the bus. In the end, it took about one year until the government of Alabama desegregated its buses. The only reason they desegregated the buses was because the issue was taken to the Supreme Court and it was ruled unconstitutional.
