    Rosa Parks was arrested in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama. This sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, where African Americans refused to ride buses for over a year to protest segregation laws. The boycott succeeded when the Supreme Court ruled that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional. The Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States between the 1870s and 1960s, prohibiting African Americans from using many public facilities. The laws were an attempt to undermine the rights of African Americans and ensure white supremacy after the Civil War. In 1960, the sit-in movement began as African American college students staged sit-ins
