Thank you for reviewing.Fb: On this day in 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, Rosa Parks refused to obey a bus driver's order to give up her seat in the "colored" section to a white passenger, after the white section was filled. Parks' act of defiance and the Montgomery Bus Boycott became important symbols of the modern Civil Rights Movement and became an international icon of resistance to racial segregation.Fb: "People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in." On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama, bus and helped spur the modern Civil Rights Movement.t: On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks became an icon of resistance to racial segregation. http://buff.ly/1NomXGDWill use this PD image in tweet:--
