Rosa Parks in Alabama Around 1955, Alongside Martin Luther King Jr.

History Daily

Rosa Parks made a name for himself for standing up against prejudice and racism, and refusing to move to the back of a bus after being told that she needed to move for the other white passengers. She was eventually arrested for her refusal, and it was the turning point in Montgomery when for 13 months, there was a boycott of the city’s buses, which became one of the very first and biggest acts of black activism at the time. It also thrust the Civil Rights movement and its founder Martin Luther King, Jr. who’s also in the photo to the limelight, which paved the way for black rights today.
