Rosa Parks Day


Rosa Parks was born on February 4, 1913. On December 1st 1955 in Montgomery Alabama she refused to give up her seat on a bus. In that time there was a law that said that Rosa Parks would need to sit at the back of the bus if some White People wanted to sit toward the front. This injustice sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and was an instrumental part of the civil rights movement.
