Rosa Parks became a household name when her refusal to give up her seat to a white man on December 1, 1955, in Montgomery Alabama, led to a civil movement, that beget the most significant civil rights legislation of American history.
Although the petite 42-year-old (at the time of the incident) played down her role in the struggle, through peaceful and dignified campaign, she became one of the most well respected figures in the civil rights movements.
Roving Informant salutes that courage!
