Today marks 64 years since Rosa Parks made history by refusing to give up her seat on the Bus.

This act launched the Montgomery Bus Boycotts and subsequently shifted the Civil Rights movement.

Rosa Parks is often credited as the initiator of bus protests. However, earlier that same year 15 y/o Claudette Colvin was arrested for refusing to yield her seat in Montgomery.

There are also a number of other Black women who similarly protested segregation prior to Parks.

Rosa Parks was more than the tired woman she is often painted to be. Parks was a longtime organizer in the Civil Rights Movement prior to her bus protests.

Rosa Parks was even involved in raising defense funds for Claudette Colvin.
