During a time when America was deeply divided due to segregation and racial discrimination, an ordinary day turned into an extraordinary moment when Rosa Parks, a humble seamstress from Montgomery, Alabama, refused to give up her bus seat to a white man. Her brave decision ignited a city-wide boycott that would go down in history. Despite facing pressure from all sides, including the white establishment, her concerned family, and even members of her own community who feared retaliation, Rosa remained steadfast in her resolve. Her courageous act set in motion a powerful movement that would ultimately bring about significant social change.
