Whose arrest for refusing to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955 sparked the city's famous bus boycott?

Rosa Parks

Rosa Parks was a dedicated civil rights activist whose arrest triggered a 381-day boycott that effectively crippled Montgomery's transit system. This historic protest, led by a young Martin Luther King Jr., culminated in a landmark Supreme Court ruling that declared segregated busing unconstitutional. While often depicted as a tired seamstress, Parks was actually a trained organizer who had long been active in the fight for racial justice.
