Forget the myth of the tired seamstress—Rosa Parks was a trained activist who knew exactly what she was doing when she refused to give up her seat. Her 1955 arrest lit the fuse for the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the most successful mass movements in American history. Her mugshot, calm and composed, is a portrait of quiet revolution.
Parks was part of a broader network of Black women and working-class organizers who built the civil rights movement from the ground up. Her courage wasn’t accidental—it was the result of years of preparation and relentless will. In that single act, she cracked segregation’s spine.
