About this episode
The episode discusses Rosa Parks' pivotal role in the civil rights movement by refusing to give up her bus seat, leading to significant events in American history.
The story of the woman who refused to give up her bus seat on December 1, 1955 in Montgomery Alabama. This one decision led to a bus boycott for 381 days and a ruling from the Supreme Court that said bus segregation was unconstitutional. And - oh yea- a man named Martin Luther King Jr. ended up leading the cause as a 26 year old local Birmingham minister.
