Best Answer

For many, the Civil Rights Movement started when Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus. The other two people were the Little Rock Nine, who were the first students to attend the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, and Thurgood Marshall, who was instrumental as a lawyer in many early court cases.
