Rosa Parks Day
On February 4th or December 1st, Rosa Parks Day honors an American Civil Rights hero twice a year. Rosa Parks, the civil rights leader, is honored on this holiday.
Rosa Parks boarded a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, on December 1, 1955, after a long Thursday at work, boarded a bus. She took her seat in the 'colored' section.' The bus began to cramming as she rode the Cleveland Avenue bus home.
The Montgomery city charter permitted bus drivers to assign seats. However, it did not allow them to insist passengers give up their seats. Despite this, bus operators routinely demanded black passengers to give up their seats to white passengers when public transportation became full.
When the bus driver begged Parks to give up her seat, she refused. Her mother was arrested by police, and the rest of Civil Rights history follows. The courts found Parks guilty of violating the city code on December 5, 1955, and fined her $10 more in court fees.
The Montgomery Bus Boycott, led by E.D. Nixon and Martin Luther King Jr., organized the Montgomery Bus Boycott for the date of Rosa Park's trial.. The resistance campaign, which lasted for several months, has devastated Montgomery's public transportation system.
