"People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day....No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in."⁠ Civil rights activist Rosa Parks, on the arrest that led the Montgomery bus boycott. ⁠ On 1 December 1955, she had refused to move seats to accommodate a white passenger on a segregated bus in the Alabama city.⁠ Pictured here after her arrest for civil disobedience in February 1956, Parks was not the first to meet racist policy with direct action, but her commitment and profile within the community inspired the protest campaign which was to change the law that same year.⁠ Later active in the Black Power movement and cited as "the First Lady of Civil Rights", when Parks died in 2005, aged 92, she became the first woman to lie in honor in the Capitol Rotunda.⁠ 📷⁠: Bureau of Prisons/Getty Images I gettyarchive I #GettyImages #PreservingThePast #GettyArch...
