Rosa Parks was an African-American.Awhile ago,African-Americans and White people's rights weren't equal,and African-Americans were treated badly.All African-Americans had to sit on the back of the bus,and White people got the front.If an African-American was on the bus first,and sat in the front,and then a white person got on,you had to give up your seat for them.But one day,when Rosa was sitting in the front,and a White person got on the bus,she refused to give up her seat.She felt that African-Americans were not being treated fairly,so she stood up for what she believed.She did get taken to jail.But after,many marches were held.Also,Martin Luther King Jr. made his speech.Many African-Americans boycotted buses,which means to stop going on buses.So,because Rosa didnt give up her seat,and went to jail,many African-Americans were upset with the situation.They didnt like that she was taken to jail.So they boycotted the buses to make things fair.So,people blamed Rosa for the boycotting.

Enough is enough. Maybe this was what Rosa though when she refused to let her seat to be. After she was arrested for breaking the segregation laws, the whole black movement fell in for the one purpose. The boycott did serve it after the money that was being lost for no blacks using the transports.

Yes, Rosa Parks was in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Her refusal to give up her seat on December 1, 1955 was the spark that set off the boycott.
