Rosa Parks was a civil rights pioneer. She is best known for refusing to give up her seat on a segregated Montgomery AL bus in early December 1955, an courageous action that led to a protest by the black residents of the city, led by a young pastor Dr. Martin Luther King jr., who were tired of being treated like second-class citizens. Back then, the buses were segregated and white people got the good seats, up front, while black people were expected to, sit in the back of the bus, but Rosa Parks had worked hard all day and when she saw an open seat at the front section of the bus she sat down. When was told she had to give up her seat to a white man, she refused and was arrested.

But long before this event, she was working for civil rights with the NAACP. This incident brought her to the attention of Dr King.

The said part was that only a lack of knowledge made all this possible. You see the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, The Constitution, and the Amendments added to the Constitution after the Civil War made all people whether they were white, black, brown, yellow, male or female equal. This history is the exact reason why people need to know the laws of the land they live in. Even today people make mistakes of the government's abilities that hurt them.

By refusing to move to the back of the bus, she brought attention to the unfair segregation laws, and helped to spark the Civil Rights Movement.
