Rosa Parks was an activist in the civil rights movement best known for her refusal to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Alabama in 1955. She refused to give up her seat, in the colored section, to a white passenger when the whites only section was filled. Parks became an iconic symbol in the fight for civil rights, and continued to fight for equality throughout her life. #WomenOnUSPaper$
