Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks was a seamstress from Montgomery, Alabama, in the United States. On 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)

Legacy
Parks' contribution to civil rights would be remembered well into the future. By the 21st century, Redlands Primary had a class named after Parks among other "inspiring people", and Grace O'Brien owned a T-shirt that said "The Spirit of Rosa". By the 79th century, her contribution to racial equality was still remembered, and so great that the racist criminal Krasko attempted to alter history to prevent Parks's legacy from coming to fruition.
At some point, Asteroid 284996 was named Rosaparks in her honour. (TV: Rosa)
