It was a planned action on the part of the NAACP. Rosa had been involved in Claudette Colvin's defense, who was the first girl to not give up her seat in Montgomery 9 months earlier. Claudette was raped and became an unwed mother so the NAACP didn't feel she would be capable of taking forward a legal offense on the segregation laws. Neither was the next woman, Mary Louise Smith. Rosa was an upstanding woman with no skeletons in her closet and she was brave and tired of segregation. She wasn't tired from work but tired of the situation.
