In 1955, Rosa Parks challenged the segregation by race on Montgomery's public buses, which was used to treat black citizens as inferior to white citizens. She refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white rider.

Following this, she became a symbol in the bus boycott that was used by the Civil Rights Movement to further public pressure for an end to racial segregation. The bus law, and many similar laws in the South, were declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court, which also ruled against racial laws in education.
