Rosa Parks on the Bus

“Cleveland Avenue, Montgomery, Alabama, December 1, 1955. Rosa Parks sits in the front of the segregated section of a city bus. Foreground shows her in coat and glasses looking out the window as the driver demands her seat; midground reveals other Black passengers watching tensely and white passengers up front; period storefronts and a winter Alabama dusk pass outside on a moment that ignited a movement.”
