WKYT
(WKYT) - In the lead-up to America turning 250 years old, we are looking back every day at ‘This Day In History.’
On Dec. 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a segregated bus.
The act sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott organized by local leaders, including a young Martin Luther King Jr.
The boycott lasted for 381 days, and led to a 1956 Supreme Court decision banning segregation on public transportation.
