DECEMBER 1: ROSA PARKS REFUSES TO GIVE UP SEAT, 1955

On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat for a white passenger, leading to her arrest and sparking the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

For many, this day became a symbolic start for the civil rights movement.

American Experience’s acclaimed “Eyes on The Prize” series covered all the major events of the civil rights movement.

On the accompanying site, read the national press during the boycott and browse through photos of Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and even ordinary citizens who participated in this historic campaign for equality.
