Rosa Parks (1913-2005) was a civil rights activist known for her refusal to surrender her city bus seat to a white passenger on December 1, 1955. That bold act led to the 1955-1956 Montgomery bus boycott in Alabama and helped ignite the civil rights movement in the United States. “I was 42 [and] tired of giving in,” Parks said about her decision to defy the common practice of acquiescing Black American rights in deference to White American privilege. She was subsequently arrested and fined fourteen dollars, which she never paid.
