She was taken to jail for not leaving her seat to a white man. 9 months before, Claudette Colvin was the first person arrested for resisting bus segregation in Montgomery, Alabama, preceding the more publicized Rosa Parks and she was among the five women originally included in the federal court case, filed on February 1, 1956 as Browder v. Gayle, and testified before the three-judge panel that heard the case in the United States District Court. She was only 15 years old were Rosa was 42 at the time of her case. The other women were, Aurelia Browder, Mary Louise Smith and Susie McDonald.

She was 42 at the time she was arrested and she lost her job so she had to move to another place. In 1932, at age 19, Rosa met and married Raymond Parks, a barber and an active member of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. With Raymond's support, Rosa earned her high school degree in 1933. She soon became actively involved in civil rights issues by joining the Montgomery chapter of the NAACP in 1943, serving as the chapter's youth leader as well as secretary to NAACP President E.D. Nixon-a post she held until 1957. Although Parks has sometimes been depicted as a woman with no history of civil rights activism at the time of her arrest, she and her husband, Raymond were, in fact, active in the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Parks served as its secretary. Sparked by the arrest of Rosa Parks and 5 other unknown women at the time who were Claudette Colvin, Aurelia Browder, Mary Louise Smith and Susie McDonald, on 1 December 1955, and the Montgomery bus boycott was a 13-month mass protest that ended with the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses is unconstitutional.
