In 1955, in Montgomery, Alabama, a woman named Rosa Parks was riding home from work on a bus. When she was ordered to give up her seat to a white passenger, she quietly refused.
That single, calm act of defiance led to her arrest, and it sparked a massive boycott of the city's buses that lasted over a year.
Her courage became a turning point in the American civil rights movement, proving that one ordinary person, standing firm, can help change the course of history.
