SUMMARY:Rosa Park's Birthday
DESCRIPTION:Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4\, 1913 – October 24\, 2005)\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Rosa Parks was an American activist in the civil rights movement best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The United States Congress has called her “the first lady of civil rights” and “the mother of the freedom movement”. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				On December 1\, 1955\, in Montgomery\, Alabama\, Parks rejected bus driver James F. Blake’s order to relinquish her seat in the “colored section” to a white passenger\, after the whites-only section was filled. Parks was not the first person to resist bus segregation\, but the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) believed that she was the best candidate for seeing through a court challenge after her arrest for civil disobedience in violating Alabama segregation laws. Parks’ prominence in the community and her willingness to become a controversial figure inspired the Black community to boycott the Montgomery buses for over a year\, the first major direct action campaign of the post-war civil rights movement. This year-long boycott resulted in the desegregation of buses in Montgomery\, Alabama on December 20\, 1956. Rosa Parks remained a civil rights activist until her passing. When she passed away in 2005\, she became the first female American who was not an elected official to lie in honor in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol. \nImage: Rosa Parks in a beauty salon in Miami\, 1986.
