Background

         Living in the South, black people didn't have as many privileges as white people did. White people were allowed to sit wherever they wanted on segregated buses but black people had to sit in the "colored section" of the bus. Whenever black people boarded city buses in Montgomery they’d to enter through the back of the bus and sit in the "colored section" of the bus, since the white people had the nicer things and opportunities. So when Parks sat in the front of the black section the driver wanted that seat for the white man. When Rosa Parks didn't move her courage inspired a nation. ("Colored and White Water Fountain")
