1) Rosa Parks
2) Harriet Tubman
3) Susan B. Anthony
4) Sojourner Truth

Answer 1

Rosa Parks was the activist who didn't give up her seat, leading to the Montgomery Bus Boycott and became a plaintiff in lawsuits challenging segregation laws.

Step-by-step explanation:

The teen activist who refused to give up her seat on the bus and was a plaintiff in lawsuits against Jim Crow governments, but was denied support by Civil Rights Movement (CRM) leaders was Rosa Parks. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks refused to give her seat to a White man, which led to her arrest. In response, the Women's Political Council organized a bus boycott supported by African American riders, and influential Civil Rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. rallied support for the boycott. The culmination of these events contributed to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, a key moment in the fight against segregation during the civil rights movement.
