After Rosa Parks sat in the front of the bus and she wouldn't give up her seat to a "white person", she was arrested. This brought upon the movement to change equal rights for the African Americans. She was one of the first to stand up for herself during the 1950s, after she decided not to move from her seat. She became a symbol of the modern Civil Rights Movement.
