Rosa Louise McCauley Parks (February 4, 1913 – October 24, 2005) was an American civil rights activist. She is best known for her refusal to move from her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in defiance of Jim Crow racial segregation laws, in 1952, which sparked the Montgomery bus boycott. She is sometimes known as the "mother of the civil rights movement". (From Wikipedia)
