Rosa Parks: Life after Montgomery - By: David Nalin, 2009-07-14

It is well known that Rosa Parks played a spearhead role in the civil rights movement, by refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery, Alabama city bus to a white passenger. Her life was a flicker of hope in a world of inequality. It's important to understand what happened to her after the bus boycotts that were started soon after her arrest. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was organized because of Rosa’s arrest for violating the city ordinance that demanded all public transportation be segregated.
