Rosa Parks
Rosa Parks was one of the main causes of the decision of Browder v. Gayle. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested on a Montgomery bus after refusing to give up her seat for a white individual. This brave act soon sparked a protest within approximately 4-5 days. This protest was called the Montgomery Bus boycott. Although this protest was started in Alabama, it soon made its way across the whole nation. Soon, everyone of the African American descent became very passionate about showing pride in their race and focused on the equal right of both blacks and whites. The bus boycott lasted for about 381 days. After the bus boycott was over, Rosa Parks moved to Detroit and received more than forty three honorary degrees for her acts on the day of December 1, 1955. Until this very day, Rosa Park will always be remembered for standing up for what she believes in by refusing to give up her seat just because of her skin color.
