On this day in 1955, the civil rights activist Rosa Parks rejected a bus driver's order to vacate a seat for a white female passenger after the "white" section of the bus was filled.

Parks wasn't the first person who resisted bus segregation, but she helped inspire the black community to boycott the city buses for over a year.
