Rosa parks was a very important civil rights leader because on December 1, 1955, Parks was riding the bus home from her job since her family did not own a car, and the first ten seats were always reserved for whites, and it quickly filled up once she got on. She sat in the front section of the bus designated for blacks. A white male got on and looked for a seat, but there was none left. So the bus driver who happened to be white, requested that the four blacks move. The others around her agreed, but Parks refused to give up her seat, and the driver called the cops.
Parks had been escorted from a bus 12 years earlier, by the same driver, but this time it was different, In an interview Parks stated “ I didn’t consider myself breaking any segregation
