Best Answer

Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955, when a white passenger entered an already full bus, the bus driver asked Rosa Parks and three other African-Americans sitting in her row, to stand up. The others stood up; Rosa Parks remained seated. Rosa Parks was arrested because of that action. After that Rosa became famous.

That action of Rosa Park became an example to all black Americans in a time when they were looking for equal rights. A bus boycott began and it worked. The blow was lethal. Since the rest of the Civil Rights Movement stemmed from what became known as the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Rosa Parks is known as the Mother of the Civil Rights Movement.
