It all started on a Bus... On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks rejected bus driver’s order to relinquish her seat in the "colored section" to a white passenger. She inspired the African American Community to boycott the buses. In December 21, 1956, the mandate from the United States Supreme Court arrived in Montgomery, which made segregating seats on busses illegal. This battle was won. Parks is known as the Mother of the Civil Rights Movement. #SUSI #CronkiteSUSI
