Rosa Parks is an important figure in Georgia's history because of her pivotal role in the civil rights movement. Her refusal to give up her seat on a segregated bus in Montgomery, Alabama, sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott, which ultimately led to the desegregation of buses in the city. Parks' courageous act served as a catalyst for the larger civil rights movement and inspired countless others to stand up against racial injustice. Her legacy continues to be celebrated and honored as a symbol of resistance and equality.
