Which detail best supports the inference that Rosa Parks did not break federal law by her refusal to give up her seat?
The Montgomery Bus Boycott
The true spark of the boycott came unintentionally from Rosa Parks, now known as "the mother of the Civil Rights Movement." As stipulated by a
Montgomery city ordinance, African American bus riders were required to sit in the back of the bus. In addition, they were required to give up their
seats to white riders if the "white seats" were taken. Ms. Parks, an African American seamstress born in 1913, obeyed the law and sat in the back of
the bus. However, when a white man told her to give up her seat, she refused. The mere refusal was enough to get her arrested.
