Why didn't Rosa Parks move on the bus?

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.

How come White people and Black people can sit together on a bus now?

Because one day a lady named Rosa Parks got on a bus and thought it was unfair to sit in the back. She thought Black people and White people SHOULD be able to sit anywhere and by anyone! So she sat in the front with the White people. She did get in trouble but now Black and White people could sit anywhere on a bus and sit next to anyone!
