Rosa Parks was a seamstress from Montgomery, Alabama in the United States. In 1 December 1955, she staged a protest on a segregated bus, by refusing to relinquish her seat to a white passenger.

This protest resulted in her arrest but led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, beginning on 5 December, and, ultimately, to a wider Civil Rights Movement, led by Martin Luther King. (TV: Rosa)
