Rosa Parks faced considerable struggles in her fight for civil rights, most notably enduring racial discrimination and intimidation in the deeply segregated American South. Her refusal to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, led to her arrest, which sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and became a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement. Parks’ courage and principle against systemic injustice brought widespread attention to the fight for racial equality. Despite threats and hardships, she remained a steadfast advocate for justice and equality throughout her life.
