Rosa Parks is known as "the mother of the civil rights movement". She walked into history on December 1, 1955 when she refused to give up her seat for a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus. Parks was arrested for her defiance, and she agreed to challenge the segregation order in court. After this plan had failed, Parks as well as other followers organized the Montgomery bus boycott.
