Montgomery Bus Boycott

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

It's December 1, 1955, and a tired African American woman refuses to give up her seat for a white man on a bus in Montgomery. This woman is Rosa Parks. While she wasn't the first person to stay seated despite the current laws, her arrest spurred a large boycott and brought the African American community together. Listen to her as she recounts her story.
