When Rosa Parks was arrested on a bus in Montgomery Alabama on December 5, 1955, a meeting was held by local civil rights leaders who formed a group to organize and support a bus boycott in Montgomery. They also selected local minister, Rev. Marting Luther King, Jr. to lead that group. King successfully lead that boycott and went on to lead other civil rights movements, eventually sacrificing his life for that cause. He helped Ms. Parks with his efforts in the same way that he helped all Americans by systematically making segregation and discrimination illegal.

Who is most important Abraham Lincoln Martin Luther king or Rosa Parks?

Lincoln and Martin Luther King were both equally important in establishing official equal rights for coloured people. Lincoln went to war with the Southern USA in order to end slavery and emancipate the negro races- Martin Luther King led a peaceful campaign to ensure that black people had the same civil rights enshrined in law as white people do. Rosa Parks probably ranks less highly than Lincoln or King, but she very bravely set a precedent for non-violent civil disobedience to racist segregation. However, if she hadn't done it, then it's inevitable that somebody somewhere would have eventually did what she did, by the law of averages.
