On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks changed the course of history when she refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus and was subsequently arrested. Rosa’s story – both on that fateful day and in the years to follow – is a reminder that one simple act of courage can spur positive change, and a life of service can be the foundation of a remarkable legacy.
