If Rosa Parks had not rode the bus on December 1, 1955, the day she was arrested, it would have been another day. Rosa Parks was a seamstress at a department store and rode the bus home every day. On that December 1st, she was on her way home from work. When the seats in the 'white section' were full and more white people got on the bus, the driver asked her to give up her seat to a white man who was standing. She had been dealing with this treatment for a long time and decided that day to refuse to comply, she was tired of being treated as second class. She worked all day the same as everyone else and paid her fare the same as everyone else. She had just had enough. If wasn't the first time she had been put off the bus for refusal to comply, it happened to be this time that the driver called a policeman to arrest her.
