Rosa Parks faced numerous challenges during her activism, particularly in her fight against racial segregation in the United States. After her infamous refusal to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama, she was arrested, leading to threats against her life and loss of employment. These adversities highlighted the systemic inequalities faced by African Americans and sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. Despite the personal struggles she encountered, Parks remained a steadfast symbol of resistance against oppression.
