Rosa Parks is often remembered as the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement" for her pivotal role in the movement against racial segregation in the United States. Her courageous act of refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger on December 1, 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, sparked widespread protests and led to the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This boycott, led by figures such as Martin Luther King Jr., played a crucial role in challenging and ultimately dismantling segregation laws. Parks' actions and commitment to justice and equality have left an enduring legacy in the struggle for civil rights.
