On a December day in 1955, a black lady named Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white man. At that time, it was the law that African-Americans must move to the back of the bus, and stand if their seat was needed for a white person. Tired at the end of a long day of working as a seamstress, Rosa Parks decided to take a stand by keeping her seat.

Little did anyone know that this quiet act of non-violent resistance would eventually lead to the end of segregation in the South. Rosa Parks was not the first to be arrested for refusing to give up her seat, but it was her act of defiance that led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

Today, Montgomery, Alabama is known as the Birthplace of the Civil Rights Movement. The Montgomery Boycott and the rise of a young charismatic preacher, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., marked the beginning of Civil Rights the country needed so desperately.
