Frontier

Rosa Parks was a frontier of the Civil Rights movement whose actions helped end segregation. Rosa Parks didn't move from her seat on a segregated bus because she believed that she didn't have to move for a white man who, she believed, was just as good as her. When Rosa Parks refused to move from her seat on a city bus, her courage inspired Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to take a stand in the Civil Rights Movement. Many places in Montgomery were segregated such as schools, restaurants, and even public bathrooms. Before he joined the Civil Rights Movement he was the pastor at the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church. Rosa Parks was an important figure in the U.S. nation because she helped to end segregation.
