Back then, when African Americans fought for civil rights, they were not allowed to do what the White people could do. And it was a crime back then for an African American to sit in the front of the bus, it was strictly only for white people. Black people could only sit in the back seats of the bus and when Rosa Parks sat in the front, the police came immediately and arrested her.
