Rosa Parks refused to change seats on a bus when her and one other person was on the bus. The law stated that she was to sit in the black section of the bus. When she refused she was arrested and fined 5.00 for breaking the law. King was a minister in a local church and he gave a speech on her arrest and it was decided that the African American community would boycott the buses. They did and for a year the boycott continued. The end result was the end to segregation on the bus system.
