Most historians date the beginning of the modern civil rights movement in the United States to
December 1, 1955. That was the day when an unknown seamsstress in Montgomery, Alabama
refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. This brave woman, Rosa Parks, was arrested and
fined for violating a city ordinance, but her lonely act of defiance began a movement that ended legal
segregation in America, and made her an inspiration to freedom -loving people everywhere.
