Legacy of Freedom
While Rosa Parks spent most of her life campaigning for civil rights, it was her famous refusal to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man that led to the rise of an unknown clergyman named Martin Luther King Jr., that moved her entire community to boycott city buses for 13 months, that outlawed the segregation of city buses by the US Supreme Court, that sparked the civil rights movement in the US, and that inspired South Africa to rise up against apartheid.
