Rosa Parks was not sitting in the front of the bus. She was sitting in the back of the bus, in row 11, in the first row of seats of the "Black section." When the bus crowded with more Anglos and there were no more seats in the "White section" the bus driver told the African Americans in the first two rows of the "Black section" to move back to allow one Anglo male to sit down in two whole rows. After the bus drove off, Rosa Parks sat back down in the first two rows of seats in the "Black section." That was when the argument started which resulted in the arrest.
There is a great one hour video about the Montgomery Bus Boycott that I show to my students every semester. HBO did the video with help from the American Southern Law & Poverty Institution, or something like that. You might find it on YouTube.
Rosa Parks sat down because she was tired from working all day had paid her fare and didn't want to stand at the back of the bus when there were empty seats reserved in the front of the bus for white people who paid the same price as Ms Parks. She had enough of the notion of white supremacy in the land of the free and home of the brave where all "men" are created equal according to our very socio/political/legal foundations.
Rosa Parks started the Civil Rights Movement by getting on a bus in 1955 In Montgomery Alabama, she refused to give up her seat to a white man..... and the rest in history! What a woman! that is the reason she is so revered as the woman who started the civil Rights movement, would it not have been for her act of bravery it may not have started until decades later.
