On this day in 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her bus seat to a white man.
Of the event she noted:
“People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn’t true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day…no, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”
