Rosa Parks

4. 2. 1913 – 24. 10. 2005

When she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger, she faced arrest but gained the attention of the entire nation. Rosa Parks became a symbol of resistance to racial segregation, and her courageous act helped launch the Montgomery Bus Boycott. In doing so, she significantly accelerated the civil rights movement in the United States and inspired generations to resist injustice through nonviolence.
