Best Answer

On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested because she refused to give her seat to a white person on a bus. She had refused to comply on previous occasions, which had resulted in being put off the bus. That was what she was expecting on that day, but instead, the driver got a policeman to arrest her.

She did spend the night in jail, the charge was disorderly conduct.
