What can be inferred from the author's focus on Ms. Parks' reason for starting the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956?
The Montgomery Bus Boycott
The Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955-1956 was one of the most
significant events of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States.
Though it might have seemed like a fruitless endeavor to some when it
began on December 1, 1955, the boycott was able to break segregation
laws throughout Alabama
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
It is popular belief that Parks civil disobedience was merely the result
of exhaustion. However, it is not widely known that plans were
underway by others to soon challenge the Montgomery bus laws-and
that Parks was well aware of this. Ms. Parks had belonged to the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
since 1944. As a member of the Montgomery chapter, she knew that
some civil rights leaders had been planning action to overturn the bus
segregation Laws for some time. Apparently, Ms. Parks'action was
impulsive although it hastened the battle for equality in Montgomery
As a result of Ms. Parks arrest the NAACP and other activists staged
the now-famous bus boycott Dr Martin Luther Kint began
organizing the boycott immediately and soon fliers were being sent
around Montgomery. His call to action resulted in African Americans
walking or carpooling rather than paying the fares of the Montgomery
bus system Since 70% of the city's bus ridership was made up of African
A a
Many activists were not brave enough to stage a bus boycott until Ms. Parks was arrested for her refusal to give up her seat
to a white man, prompting others to follow her lead.

OB. Regardless of whether or not Ms. Parks defiance was intentional, her actions played an integral part in generating major
changes during the Civil Rights Movement.
Ос. As a member of the NAACP, Ms. Parks wanted to overturn bus segregation laws sooner than planned and intentionally
refused to give up her seat that day,
As a well-known advocate of desegregation during the Civil Rights Movement, the author criticizes Ms. Parks' true intentions
for refusing to give up her seat on a bus
