On this day in 1943, the civil rights activist Rosa Parks rejected a bus driver’s order to vacate a seat reserved in the “white” section of the bus.
Parks wasn’t the first person who resisted bus segregation, but she helped inspire the black community to boycott the city buses for over a year.

That actually happened on December 1, 1955.
Which was corrected in the comments of the original post before it was reposted. So the reposter didn’t even bother to read it.
