Watch this short animation to learn more about the life of Rosa Parks.

In 1950s America black people were treated unfairly. One person who tried to change this was Rosa Parks.
At that time, southern states in America had something called 'segregation'. This meant people of different skin colours had separate schools, restaurants, and even toilets. Segregation happened on buses too.
On December 1, 1955, Rosa was in a bus seat for black people, but the white peoples' seats were full. The driver wanted Rosa to give her seat to a white person, but Rosa refused.
She was arrested and taken to jail for a few hours.
Rosa didn't fight alone, though. People organised a bus boycott, which meant they stopped using buses for a year. This meant the bus company lost a lot of money. The boycott was a peaceful stand against racism.
Judges eventually said having separate black and white parts of buses was not allowed.
Rosa had to move away to a new city to find work. She lived in Detroit for the rest of her life, which was very far from Montgomery.

Now for a quick recap.

Watch this short film from CBBC Horrible Histories to tell you more about the actions of Rosa Parks.
