The Montgomery Bus Boycott began when Rosa Parks refused to surrender her seat to a white man. The boycott began when she just said no. This photograph shows Rosa Parks before being arrested. Read her arrest record blow.

Details

On 1 December 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a city bus in Montgomery, Alabama. This single act of nonviolent resistance sparked the Montgomery bus boycott, an eleven-month struggle to desegregate the city’s buses. Under the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr., the boycott resulted in a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that public bus segregation is unconstitutional and catapulted both King and Parks into the national spotlight.
