Description of Rosa McCauley (Rosa Parks):

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks was an American activist in the civil rights movement best known for her pivotal role in the Montgomery bus boycott. The United States Congress has honored her as "the first lady of civil rights" and "the mother of the freedom movement".

Blake's order to vacate a row of four seats in the "colored" section in favor of a White passenger, once the "White" section was filled.
