dec 1, 1955 - Rosa Parks Arrested

Description:

Rosa Parks took a seat near the front of the bus on her way home from work. When the bus became crowded, the driver instructed her to move to the back and give up her seat for a white person. When she refused to leave her seat, the police came and arrested her. Little did Parks know that she had begun a revolution against bus segregation with the Montgomery bus boycotts.
