This video celebrates the achievement of one woman's bold action of standing up by remaining seated. Rosa Parks, a 42 year old working woman on Dec. 1, 1955, was arrested for not moving from her seat on a public bus for a white man. One year and one day later, after a bus boycott led by the SCLC and Dr. MLK, public transportation laws were changed and blacks received equal rights while riding on public transportation. It was a great feat for African Americans, and it all started with Rosa Parks. This is a thank you to the "Mother of the Civil Rights Movement."

  • Was Rosa Parks buried with her monkey tail or did they remove it? Just curious.

  • I ride the bus and women expect to get a seat and want special treatment. Women expect men to give their seats to them. Why should men give their seats to women?

  • I'm white and this story is too inspiring!! I'd have to say thank you Rosa parks! She fought for what she believed in!!!!! It wasn't fair that the blacks and whites were so..different!!! In loving memory of Rosa parks.

  • @simba1936 so you're saying rosa parks was a white lady? that makes no sense 

  • @ijsje2000 is that a complement or an insult?

  • And Look Now America's President is BLACK

  • She is NOT a black, but looks half cast, that is the reason she has guts, because of white side. go to YouTube and type in " john alembillah azumah"
