Rosa Parks

    Rosa Parks worked as a seamstress at a Montgomery department store in 1955.On December 1 of that year she got onto a city bus and sat in the “colored”section.The “whites—only”section in the front of the bus filled up and a white man was left standing .The bus driver demanded that Mrs Parks and three other people in the colored section give up their seats so the white man could sit.The other three people moved but Mrs Parks refused.She was arrested when the bus driver contacted the police and charged her with “disorderly conduct”.Four days later she was found guilty.Then the Montgomery bus boycott began. It encouraged Martin Luther King to preach about the injustice to black people in the USA in his church.It is often thought of as the start of the Civil Rights Movement.
