How a Montgomery Bus Became Famous

In this video created by middle school students, discover how an ordinary bus in Montgomery became the symbol of a historic fight for civil rights. In 1955, Rosa Parks made the courageous act of refusing to give up her seat to a white passenger on a bus, an act that sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott and a national movement for equality. Through this video, the students explore the significance of this event and how this seemingly ordinary bus marked a turning point in the fight against racial segregation in the United States.
