Rosa Parks Ignites Bus Boycott
In Montgomery, Alabama on December 1st 1955, Rosa was sent to jail for refusing to give up her seat on a bus. Because of her arrest African American activists called for a bus boycott to be held. The protest lasted at least a year and it ended on December 20th. Rosa Parks was among the first to ride the new desegregated buses.
