    Rosa Parks was born in 1913 in Alabama. In 1955, she refused to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, which was required under the system of racial segregation known as Jim Crow laws. Her arrest sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a pivotal event in the civil rights movement. The boycott lasted over a year and resulted in the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that segregated public buses were unconstitutional. Rosa Parks' act of civil disobedience helped launch the civil rights movement and drew national attention to the injustice of racial segregation laws in the United States.
