Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat in the colored section of the bus to a white passenger after the white section was filled. In disobeying a bus driver, she was exercising civil disobedience, and the whole issue was one of racial segregation, since the seats would not have been separate and she would not have been asked to give hers up had it not been for racism and the idea that somehow the color of your skin makes you more or less likely to need or deserve a seat on the bus. Rosa was arrested for Civil Disobedience, and her cause became a popular one in the civil rights movement, influencing the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Martin Luther King, Jr, and eventually the bus segregation rules were overturned as unconstitutional in Browder v. Gayle.
