On the evening of December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, an African American, was arrested for disobeying an Alabama law requiring black passengers to relinquish seats to white passengers when the bus was full. Blacks also were required to sit at the back of the bus.

Title is misleading. The bus was divided into two sections. The “white” section was full so when more white folks got on the driver of the bus moved the divider between the sections, placing Rosa Parks in the white section despite having seated herself in the assigned section when she got on. When she was asked to reseat herself, she said she was fine where she was sitting and refused to move.
She deserves to be arrested for wearing a suit jacket with that many buttons alone.
It’s crazy because now, we love sitting in the back of the bus. 🤷🏾♂️
That’s what a hero looks like
She was so cool and strong. She was an activist even before this.
That person is white innit
She is quite possibly the greatest American who ever lived, except for Jesus.
That history can’t be taught here in Florida where stupidity thrives in the sunshine.
