A lifelong activist, she made history on December 1, 1955 when she defied Alabama law and refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. Her courage that day would catapult the movement into great popularity.]]> 2021-04-11 16:07:16 UTC https://padlet.com/alexia_284814/9uvsaofbkan3q21c/wish/1404452070 alexia_284814 https://padlet.com/alexia_284814/9uvsaofbkan3q21c/wish/1404453150 - A bus boycott soon took place following Parks arrest; Montgomery Bus Boycott

Said movement can be credited for the large advancements made in equality in inclusion that show in modern America, though there is clearly still much work to be done. Even today, she is often looked at as a symbol of courage and persists as a monumental figure in history.    ]]> 2021-04-11 16:08:11 UTC https://padlet.com/alexia_284814/9uvsaofbkan3q21c/wish/1404453589
