description Rosa Parks Overview
Rosa Parks is often remembered for a single act of defiance, but her life was defined by decades of dedicated civil rights work. Her refusal to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus was a calculated, courageous act that ignited the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a pivotal moment in the American Civil Rights Movement. Parks demonstrated that individual agency, when combined with community organization, can topple systemic injustice. She remains a powerful symbol of the 'ordinary' citizen whose refusal to comply with immoral laws can change the course of history.
