What reasons made Rosa Parks famous?

Answer 1

She helped stop discrimination.

She was on a bus, which during those times black people had to give up their seats if a white person wanted it. Most black people would have to sit in the back and without a seat, and when someone came and wanted the seat, she said No. They called the police and she was arrested. This news was heard by Martin Luther King Jr. who rallied many many people to start a petition by not riding the buses. Eventually the bus transportation went very low on money, that they decided they would allow white and black people to be able to sit wherever they want on the bus.
Rosa Parks had a long history of working for civil rights, as a member of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People). She is best known for inspiring the Montgomery (Alabama) Bus boycott in 1955. The buses were segregated and black people were expected to sit at the back and always give up their seat to a white person. Rosa Parks was a seamstress and she was exhausted after a long day of work. She got on the bus and sat down, refusing to give up her seat to a white person. This courageous act of civil disobedience was a punishable offense in the south, and she was jailed, which outraged her supporters. They decided it was time to boycott all the buses until segregation was ended.

Answer 2

Rosa Parks worked as a seamstress in Montgomery, Alabama. She was tired and very angry so Rosa sat in the front of the bus. The rule was all blacks sit in the back of the bus and if they run out of seats and a white person gets on they have to give up their seat.

A white man got on he wanted the seat Rosa was in the bus driver said "Get up". Rosa said "No" in a soft little voice. The bus drivers ask again she still said no. The Bus driver called the police and the police took Rosa to jail.

Answer 3

On December 1st, 1955, she refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white man during the segregation in Montgomery, Alabama. Her actions sparked the 'bus boycott', in which black people refused to use the buses until they were made equal for white and black people.

Answer 4

Rosa Parks protested the segregation of black and white citizens in Montgomery Alabama by refusing to give up her seat on the bus. When the bus driver told her to get up so that a white man could sit in her seat, she said no. The driver had her arrested. Her action and arrest led to the Montgomery bus boycott, which was an important event in the fight for civil rights.

Answer 5

She was one of the main protagonists in the "Montgomery Bus Boycott":

The "Montgomery Bus Boycott" was a political and social protest campaign started in 1955 in Montgomery, Alabama, USA, intended to oppose the city's policy of racial segregation on its public transit system. Many historically significant figures of the civil rights movement were involved in the boycott, including Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph Abernathy, Rosa Parks, and others, as listed below. The boycott resulted in a crippling financial deficit for the Montgomery public transit system, because the city's black population who were the drivers of the boycott were also the bulk of the system's ridership. The ensuing struggle lasted from December 1, 1955, when Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person, to December 20, 1956 when a federal ruling took effect, and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses to beunconstitutional.
