Rosa's action led to the famous Montgomery bus boycott, a year-long act of protest that focused the attention of the world on the struggle of black Americans to gain their civil rights. It also brought a young pastor named Martin Luther King into the national spotlight. It led to a Supreme Court decision that changed America's history.
For decades, black Americans had put up with the evils of segregation. They had endured the humiliation of Whites Only facilities. They had used Colored entrances. They had dealt with separate White and Negro drinking fountains. And they had taken seats in the back of the bus.
What, then, led a 42-year-old woman to say, No more?
This story explores how Rosa Parks' life prepared her for the moment she would become a true American hero.
