Rosa Louise McCauley Parks, known as Rosa Parks [ɹoʊzə pɑɹks]1, born February 4, 1913 in Tuskegee, Alabama, United States, and died October 24, 2005 in Detroit, Michigan, was an African-American woman, an iconic figure in the fight against racial segregation in the United States, dubbed "mother of the civil rights movement" by the U.S. Congress. Like Claudette Colvin, 15 years old, on March 2, 1955, Aurelia Browder (en), 36 years old, in April 1955 and Mary Louise Smith, 18 years old, on October 21, 1955, Rosa Parks, 42 years old, refused, on December 1, 1955, to give up her seat to a white passenger in the bus driven by James F. Blake. Arrested by the police, she was fined $15. On December 5, 1955, she appealed this judgment. Martin Luther King, with the help of Ralph Abernathy, pastor of the First Baptist Church of America, launched a protest and boycott campaign against the bus company that lasted 380 days. On November 13, 1956, the Supreme Court of the United States overturned the segregation laws on the buses, declaring them unconstitutional.
